Yeah the brown leather interior is a questionable choice at best...

Though I have seen far worse ideas in the paint department.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.

Here are two pictures, when a colleague of mine visited the museum a couple of years ago. I still need to go there, and try to get more info about its VIN. And have them fix the sign that says it's a 1955 model.

And two pics of a 1955 Clipper that I found in my archives that was for sale here several years ago, still wearing a 1955 license plate (so most likely its original license plate).
Notice the 0-20(0) kph speedometer.

20 is abbreviated for 200 KPH which is about 125 MPH. Export speedometer?

My buddy in Sweden indeed has a 1955 Clipper in the same exterior colors, but not a red interior. Here we are in Stockholm a few years ago, preparing to go for a drive.
