I honestly don't think it matches an model. i think it was strictly a put together show peice. think about theses things: which model dose the color of the drive train most closely resemble? i know the supers were red, packards ivory, i don't member on customs. CHROME single exhaust? show peice! look at the steering wheel. no off-setting color grips on it like a Packard. This would indicate a clipper. However, look at the button again. i can not truely see a wheel in it. It dose appear to be light colored. which would leave me to believe it to be packard due to the fact that every one of my clipper centers has/had a dark colored back ground. it also has chrome valve covers. any one else notice that the tires are www on BOTH sides?

well now that i wrote that i viewed the dallas pic. the dallas chassis is a sr. it has black painted dual exhaust sr bumpers and the center of the wheel covers is dark. i.e. red hex with a black ring around it. clipper would be red center with bare stainless wheel in it.
