Constellations were 2-door hardtops in the Clipper Custom series. There was also the Clipper Custom 4-door sedan.

In the Super series was the 2-door hardtop Panama and also a 4-door sedan and both the Super and Custom has the same outside appearance so the identification charts pointed out above are the best way to tell if the emblems are missing from inside and outside of the car.

Later in 1956 the Clipper Custom in both body styles was discontinued and became the Packard Executive. It had the Packard nose, emblems and different side trim than the Clipper but otherwise resembled it.

There was also the Clipper Deluxe which was only a 4-door sedan and had simpler trim than its two siblings.

Remember, for 1956 only, Clipper was a separate make so if you're titling one, be sure that the make is shown as Clipper, not Packard.
