I also have a 1956 Clipper Deluxe (RHD). It doesn't have a badge like that on the trunk lid. It has two long "Deluxe" badges on the front guards, just above the stainless trim strip. Mine does have a small "Packard" badge at a 45deg angle on the lower right rear of the trunk lid, and a "Clipper" badge underneath the trunk lid release assembly.

I can't tell from your pic where on the trunk lid that "Deluxe" badge is located. Legend has it that Packard added the small "Packard" badge in 1956 to placate unhappy sales people and/or potential owners. Don't know if all 1956 Clippers had it - I have not seen any without it, but then I have not seen many - period.

Is there a part number for a "Packard" badge for the trunk lid? Given it was an afterthought, it's possible it never made it into the documentation.

See a pic of the rear of mine, below.

Cheers

Brian
