Lots of interesting, thoughtful comments. For me, I think the front styling of the Clippers is the most distinct advantage in '55. I much prefer the classic vertical bars on the '55 grille. The direction signals, while not wrap-around style, are attractive and cleverly incorporate the "V" motif. The '55 Clipper did not get a chance to trumpet the V8 nearly as much as the seniors did in '55.

It's a fun exercise for any Packard fan: "Count the "V's" on the '55 seniors"--inside and out.
