1957 Packard Clipper Emblem

[StudeMichael]

This is a hard to find item. The "Packard" emblem that goes on the decklid is easy to find. So far the "Clipper" emblem that also goes on the decklid has been impossible to find.

[StudeRich]

So are the plastic '57 Clipper Wheel and '58 Packard Emblems for the Trunk Lid/License Light, so if you need a Nameplate, better get to work and make some!

[StudeDave57]

So the ones I have on my two 'spare' decklids should be saved, eh?
I'll keep that in mind.

1958 is probably the same but earlier years are different. Based on the small production numbers there just aren't many available.

[StudeDave57]

Let's not forget~ that plastic piece is different between '57 and '58.
And on both years- it's only used on wagons.


But we're not talking about those- we're talking about that 'Clipper' name plate.
A '58 does NOT have one. They were only on '57s.

I think I HAVE one of those out in a box full of script pieces in the shop. I'll hafta look.

[StudeMichael]

If you do and you want to sell please let me know Rosco

I have afreind who restored a rare 1920s Laird biplane. Since he's a retired dentist he made his own casting for hard to find items like correct wingtip light houisings and lenes.

Now he's building a correct replica of a Sopwith Pup WWI fighter...complete with a WWI French rotary (the cylinders spin...not a Wankel) engine.

So getting new pieces shouldn't be impossible. Might be pricey to have chromed, but not impossible to get.

[Roscomacaw]

I will look in my little box of chromed treasures.

People that dangle a 'carrot' in front of someone searching for that 'carrot'.... and then pull it back...REAL CLASS!!

[Roscomacaw]

I went out and looked. Found a '58 "Packard" script and one for a Constellation, but no '57 "Clipper" I may well have one - just not in that place.

[StudeDave57]

it's none of your business, but....

If that's what you wanna think- go for it.
Folks who pay attention know that I don't need to be urged.
Just ask Carl (for one) if he agrees with me.
