Re: How and why was the name 'Clipper' chosen by Packard?

All I could find on this is on page 494 of the Beverly Rae Kimes History of Packard where it states "Skipper the Clipper" coaxed the sales dept.

It's enough perhaps that it's basic design was by Howard "Dutch" Darrin who came up with a small model in 4 days.
