Perhaps I'm incorrect but I thought Milestone Car Society only recognized certain postwar cars.
And the original Clipper is considered a Full Classic when on the senior chassis, it's treated exactly the same as the conventionally bodied cars. The junior Clippers are not Full Classics, just as the junior-bodied conventional cars are not Classics.

Owen, I believe you are wrong about the original Clipper being a CCCA Full Classic. The '41 Clipper Eight(Model 1951) was built on a 127" wheelbase "senior" chassis but had the smaller 282 engine as I am sure you know. This model is not a Full Classic. The 1942 Clipper 160(M.2003) and 180 (2006) Super Eights were also built on this chassis but had the 356" engine. Both of these models are Full Classics. The 1942 Clipper Six and Eight with the smaller engines and on the 120" chassis are not Full Classics either as you stated. The Milestone Car Society only includes post war cars.

Thought I covered myself when I said "when on the senior Chassis" meaning with the senior engine. Sorry I was less than clear.

What tripped me up was the words the "original Clipper". By original I was assuming you meant 1941. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
