Re: A strange Clipper

The color code on the plate is for Tahitian Jade and Dover White, the index has the letters inverted but it was available reversed. The pictures do make the interior look black but it's actually the Light Green Viscose and Green Satin Vinyl which was one of the options for the upholstery. Like I mentioned though it has been replaced once before so even though these are factory colors and materials it may not be the combo it originally left the factory with. And as far as the paint goes, it's old and depending on the lighting and which digital camera is doing the white balance it takes on a different look. But it is much lighter than it once was, the remnants of the original color's depth are still visible any where hidden from the light and other causes of fading.
I like the Packard script on your car. I'm thinking mine may have been produced after Clipper was on it's own. I wonder, is it normal for the data plate to be under the hood? Mine is on the inside of the driver's side door under the top hinge. Which makes me wonder if it wasn't retro fitted with a Packard data plate after the fact?
