Steve and Mr Pushbutton, Well written and a good summary of what has been written previous with some new ideas and insights. The question of the purpose of the Clipper model has been raised. My own thoughts is that Packard needed a more updated model by 1940 to compete with the Cadillac 60 Special, the Lincoln Continental and others with lower, wider and more streamlined body styles and in a nutshell the result was the Clipper. Am I right in this assertion?
