nzcarnerd ◊ 2011-03-18 08:06	1955 Packard Clipper Custom. Found this page - /vehicle_110106-Clipper-1956.html - where there is an explanation of the separation of the Clipper name occurred for only part of the 1956 year. -- Last edit: 2011-03-18 09:45:40

Commander 57 ◊ 2011-03-18 22:15	My sources indicate that the Panamas had skirted fenders while the Constellations did not. If so, it's a very quick ID method. Regardless, the Constellations all had the extended rocker moulding which the Panamas did not.
