Re: 1955 Lincoln Capri Coupe or 1955 Packard Clipper Custom Sedan?

Just a lame and lazy magazine article to compare a Lincoln 2-door hardtop with a Clipper 4-door sedan. As all here know, they should have used the Clipper hardtop, as it is a very different looking car than the sedan.

With the Torsion Level suspension option, the Clipper is a far superior luxury car. With overdrive and set up for the drag strip, it was also a faster/quicker competitor than the Lincoln.

A bit OT, but there's a Clipper hardtop sitting in front of a wrecking yard fifty miles from here. Now the snow is gone, I'll try for a photo.

(Don't tell anyone, but just as a styling exercise, I prefer the Lincoln.)
