Not a Clipper but is what is called by most a conventional body model such as a 110, 120, 160 or 180 depending on engine and trim level. A six would be the 110. If the engine is original to the car the motor number would at least give an indication of the basic model. The motor number should be stamped on the block just below the head parting line and somewhere around the distributor. It may be dirty and faintly stamped so hard to see.

I went to identify my clipper but there is no identification plates under the hood :(

I was told it's a 1941 clipper

It is a four-door with a 6 cylinder

Been a lot of years and wish I could remember more of the specifics or where and when the article appeared. The G was not really explained as to what prompted the earlier addition just that G was general use common hardware related items not specific to a car or model.

On the parts renumbering, Studebaker was already using numbers starting with 0 and 1 but in a slightly different format with dashes separating some of the numbers. The decision was Stude would keep using up thru 5 and Packard would start 6 onward. I don't know or remember if it said if there is or was any kind of differentiation planned for the numbers after the 6.

The "G" prefix first appeared in the 1948-54 parts list and a copy is available in that list under the literature archive.
It does not appear under the Factory Parts List tab.

Nice, I noticed the 6xxxxxx numbers for most 56 parts.

Do you know if there's any type of pattern to the part number system? I assume they started at 100000 so did they just have circa 380,000 parts by the 55 model year?

I don't know much about non 50's parts.

I can send a pattern of mine or see what a friend would charge to cut one out for you. Dell

Right, I remember Ross talking about that on another thread. I believe the deluxe wheels were made from Tenite. Ross was able to reproduce the look by spraying an ivory color first, then putting a bit of that ivory color with the clear coat and spraying several coats of that.
