Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

My apologies if this has already been posted on here, but this looks like it might be an authentic Flamingo 1956 Clipper Super hardtop, VIN reported as 5647-4834. However, the AQ Packard book says that the Super HT production only totalled 3,999 -- go figure. The car is in Advance MO, and as I post this, there's only 7 hours left to bid. Not sure it's worth the $999 opening bid though.

I love it. I want it! But ........

Serial numbers start at 1001. So if you subtract 1000 from 4834 the result is 3834, within the 3999 figure you quoted, and makes it very late production.

Thanks Randy! I forgot about that, and now it makes perfect sense!
