"What was the difference between a standard clipper and a super clipper?"

The 1946-'47 21st Series Clipper line comprised four subseries as follows:
The 'Junior' series built on the 120" wheelbase.
Clipper Six, 2100, 245 ci six.
Clipper Standard, 2101 and Deluxe, 2111, 282 ci eights.

The 'Senior' series built on the 127" wheelbase.
Super Clipper, 2103, 356 ci eight
Custom Super Clipper, 2106, 356 ci eight.

Sedan body shells were shared across all four series, the 'Senior' series have substantially longer front fenders and hood to accommodate the larger straight eight.

Hope this imparts perspective to what the Super Clipper was. In the marketplace, it was the main Packard competition versus the Cadillac Series 62.
