John - are you referring to this one?
ebay.com/itm/1956-Packard-Clipper/253505 ... 061877d3:g:q6EAAOSwX2xasHc2&vxp=mtr It's hard to tell from the photos on eBay, but it looks like a nice Deluxe. My guess is that it is a re-paint. I'm probably too much of a purist, but it's always a turn off to me to see that the Ultramatic has been replaced by a Chrysler transmission even though I understand the reasons for it having been done. The photos indicate the trunk mat is original and in good condition. That's a rarity.

Thank You. I agree with your comments. There are better photos on the Liquidators web site.
The dealer has no history or records with the car. So it is a shot in the dark. I was hoping it was a known car in the Texas Packard world. Guess the next step is to have it inspected. We live in California so better to be safe. thanks John

Yes! I don't live far from you - I'm near Sacramento. It likely would be worth the money to have it inspected.

Yea, its clean but the price is high for a car with no history.
Seems strange to try and sell a #3 or3+ car at a #1 price without history. Think I will stick to cars with a verified history. I.E. members on this Packard site or Clubs. This will be our third packard on our 55 had to" REBUILD" a rebuilt engine and trans after we bought it. Especially not hearing from anyone near the car in Texas. thanks John

Spot-on! All the more so as it is a Clipper Deluxe, the least expensive Clipper built .. and consequently the least desirable.

I know the desirability of a low level clipper sedan does not appeal to some.
However I really appreciate the lines and the minimum trim which really accentuate the exterior design of the car, very clean. Just a thought, This is not kosher but the interior could always be upgraded to a correct clipper super interior. That would really shake up the purist. Back to reality I have decided to let this car pass. Looking for one closer to home thanks John
