asis for including the '57 Clipper Town Sedan in the Registry.

The serial on 57 and 58 Studebaker built Packard Clippers and Hawks will only tell you the number of the car in order of build. The number on firewall under hood will tell you body style 58L-K9 is Packard Hawk (121 inch wheelbase). 58L-Y8 4door sedan (121 inch wheelbase) ,58L-J8 2 door hardtop (116 inch wheelbase)58L-P8 4 door station wagon (116 inch wheelbase)
The 1957 57L-Y8 4 door sedan (121 inch wheelbase) 57L-P10 4 door station wagon (116 inch wheelbase)
To get more information send for build sheet which will give you trim and color info and engine serial number and build date. Hope this helps the original color was on paper tag on underside bottom of glove compartment may still be there mine is.
Turning Wheels January 1988 Vol.20 No. ! has article with lots of information on these cars.

Tim, lovely Clipper. You might have more luck finding a buyer in the For Sale section. More details, including price, would also help. Good luck.

I think this is the same Clipper that frequents the Texas Packard Meet. Always admired it. Do you see Mike Grimes these days?

Count two more 1957 Packards!
One wagon and one sedan for sale on the Atlanta Craigslist.
There's a post on the Studebaker forum for a link.
I'm too old and techno challenged, but can use a rotary phone and a typewriter!

Here is link to CL in Atlanta for sale
atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/5708636415.html
Think its over priced lot of wagon parts and sedan are not interchangeable

Thank you for posting the link.
Doors are definitely different, as well as the rear fender overlays.
