So, I checked the tag on the motor and it doesn't match anything on your list. It's a '56 motor and I think it's a 352. 5667-2037


Yep, motor has been changed. The 352 would also be correct for a 55 Custom Constellation Hardtop. The number would have started 55 for it to be correct though.

With the built in reverse lights there is a possibility that car is a Custom. Does it seem to be fairly well equipped and how does the upholstery compare to the samples in this book? If upholstery is still original and decent enough to compare that is one way you can usually differentiate between a super and custom without having numbers.

5667 came out of a 56 Custom Constellation and 2037 would be an engine in a car built early in 56 Clipper production.

EDIT: Just saw the Super script on trunk lid so unless the lid was changed too that is a good indication it is a Super.
