Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Sorry guys, I was tired on my last post, I left out the most amazing feature on this car.

The owner was telling me that this car came standard with Wait for it..........wait for it..............."AIR BRAKES".

I was half waiting for the air ride, but he had no idea what a T/L system was, he said he never heard of that but the car did come standard with Air Breaks. I think I swallowed my braces.

I can't believe it! I have a set of those very rare Clipper hubcaps on my car! In fact, I even have a Clipper hubcap on my spare tire in the trunk and four extras in my basement. I must be sitting on a gold mine!

Air brakes? Damn! All I've got are Packard Easamatic power brakes on the Bumblebee. Funny, I've nevder heard of a car with air brakes ... I thought those were for 18-wheelers.

make that another set, in the box fron standard surplus,,and i may have the covers from a 56 clippper we had.
