Some of the early literature was printed before new car introduction so like sales brochure illustrations, info might not have been all that accurate or up to date.

Am curious which one only had 2 cloth combos listed. In the 56 Cloth and Upholstery book I count 3 cloth-combo and 3 all leather for the Custom sedan and 6 cloth-combo for the Constellation. As the author of that Packard article said, any other stock combination was also most likely available in a Clipper by special order but it would be nice to have that stated in a bulletin.

I seem to remember someone posting a factory sales change or availability bulletin regarding the Flamingo Pink paint being introduced. Don't recollect if that was after Customs turned into Executives or not but there might have also been another upholstery combo made available to go with that bright pink color.
