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

I recall reading someplace that in 1941 military associations with names and images like the Clipper being illustrated with uniformed Naval types were considered a positive sales tool in that time of defense preparation. You also had the Olds "Dynamic Cruiser" and the like at that time, and lots of ads stating what the auto companies were building for the military.
