Guscha,
I believe you maybe moving this thread toward the "Goddess of Ugly." Though, both 'beauty' and 'ugly' are in the eyes of the beholder...  DanL

The Chevy Bird Turd?
Don't give up AL. Not only may you eventually find some stuff tucked away in the car--almost everyone does eventually--you still have your history research, which sounds like it's only two people removed from the original order to Packard. Good luck.

I was reading some of the older post in the forum when I came across your question about the Clipper hood ornament. Seems that no one had the correct answer for you. Having owned and worked on Packards since the 1950,s, I know them inside and out. The 55-56 Clipper ornament was to be a symbol of the 25,000 mile durability test for the new Packard V8, which was a trip equal to one around the world. Thanks, Walt

That is a wonderful little piece of information. I'll be smiling behind mine now as I blow pass the Priuses. Or is it Priii?
