It is a good example of Packard craftsmanship and deserves a place alongside any Packard at a gathering.

I guess I should say that this is not an April Fools joke, it's for real.

Conn: It was an April Fools joke. There is a story behind the pictures that I posted. I had nothing to with any of the pictures, they were published in National Packard car club publication a few years ago. I will explain the whole thing to you on Tuesday night

Thanks BH. I like the look. My wife says it looks like a turtle. I told her I wouldn't "make" her ride in it then.

...boy I feel silly, here I am thinking that you were pulling the April 1st on me, but you were serious! (All it takes is a good computer artist)
Nice work! What's the grill look like? So are you hoping to go in to production or is this a hobby (What's the next step)? Have you been here?http://www.packardmotorcar.com/ Sorry

Greg -
Some people actually find that the modest side trim of the '56 Deluxe makes for a cleaner appearance. It definitely makes the car more distinctive from the Super sedan, as compared to the '55 versions. The Deluxe actually had the highest production level of any '56 Packard (or Clipper) - hence, very popular with buyers of the day. In clean, presentable condition, a Clipper Deluxe still stands head and shoulders above many other cars of 1956. Be sure to enter details and a pic of your car in the Owner Registry section here. Also, check out the Model Info section on the 56th Series (maybe even the 55th Series) for the essential specs and some great info that lets you compare the various models.

Totl production for the Clipper line for 1956, was a little over 21,000 units.

Thank You one and all for your responses. When I first read that the car I had just purchased was possibly not a Packard, I had worries of being the outcast. I understand that I am starting at about as close to the bottom of the Packard pecking order as is possible, but its a start.
Thanks again for the response to only the first of what I can only imagine will be many threads.
