The grille screen pattern and color also differ between '55 and '56 - based on what I saw between the Patricians I've owned from both years. My favorite is the '56 gold screen with the repeating turned pattern. While somewhat reminiscent of a by-gone era, it's more subtle than most engine-turned finishes.

To me, the 56th Series Clipper Super and Custom models were too similar in exterior appearance. Replacing the Clipper Custom with the Packard Executive was a good idea, but it came too late. As the entry-level Packard, the Exec made for a nice transition from Junior to Senior product lines, IMHO.
