When was my Clipper "born"?

I am trying to find out when my '55 Clipper Custom Sedan rolled off the line at Conner Ave. in 1955. After much searching in different places on the car I have never located the build sheet anywhere. I do know that the engine block and heads were cast in June of '55 and the numbers match the VIN. The last four digits in the VIN are 7889 so it was fairly late in the run for Clipper Custom since there were just over 8K built. Anyone with a Clipper Custom that has a VIN close to mine that knows when their car came off the line?
