Dual The pictutre below is that of the Packard Dealership in Bridgeport, Conneticut where this car was sold new. The building still stands today. Some interesting information about these cars that you may not already know........ Nance originally had hoped to introduce the new "Clipper" as a stand-alone marque, targeting the mid range price field which he felt was dragging the Packard image down. When word was leaked to the Packard dealer network that they would be losing their best-selling Packard model to "Clipper", they balked. As an appeasement, Nance rolled the Clipper out as a Packard, and worked to transition the cars toward their own make. Thus, the Packard Clipper name was reintroduced and applied to the company's entry-level models, previously known as the Packard 200, beginning in 1953. Clippers were available in Special and Deluxe trim models, as two- and four-door sedans. A 1953 Clipper went from 0 to 60 mph in 17.6 seconds in a Popular Mechanics test.[1] The turning circle was 41 ft.[1]For 1954, the "Clipper by Packard" was given its own unique rear fender trim and tail lights to further differentiate it from traditional Packards. The cars were also available with a distinctive two-tone paint pattern. For 1955, Packard became a marque in the newly formed Studebaker-Packard Corporation. The 1955 Clipper Custom offered torsion-bar suspension something not offered on other models, which only offered coil and leaf spring suspension. It also had a power steering option. Drivers enjoyed the comfortable ride but complained of door rattles and poor workmanship.[2]The Packard Clipper Constellation was a two-door hardtop automobile produced by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation in model years 1955 and 1956. The 1955 model was a Packard product and sold as part of the Packard Clipper line; for 1956, Clipper split from Packard, becoming its own make.SeriesModelModel No.Body StylePrice (US$)5540Deluxe5522Touring Sedan2,5865540Super5542Touring Sedan2,6865540Super Panama5547Hardtop2,7765560Custom5562Touring Sedan2,9265560Custom Constellation5567Hardtop3,076A total of 8,039 Clipper Deluxe, 14,995 Super and 15,380 Custom was built during model year 1955.
