Loui,

If yours looks like Crotomac's then it's definitely a Clipper. As to exactly what, when you say "not having any data plate on cowl its going to be hard to identify this car as a special or custom" is right, but if possible we'd like to get it right. Even after you said "once you see what we have done to the car it's not going to matter" it still matters to try and properly identify it. Pictures will help, especially of the detail difference that BH mentioned in Post #11. If you still have the upholstery that came with the Clipper and is a single two-tone color combination(or not) that will help narrow it down.
Brian, for tabulating the '42 models in Post #9, and apologies, it's now obvious in my haste I missed the Clippers! Your advice that "The word 'Clipper' then gets lost in some awkward naming conventions." is a nice way of putting it! Meanwhile, I'll await confirmation of the naming conventions and undertake any massaging once agreement is reached.
