Re: 1956 Packard Clipper wheels - need opinion

Leif:


That is one gorgeous car. You must have taken that picture on the one day in Sweden that had enough sunshine to be able to lower the top.

Leif,
Great picture of the Packard. Pretty interesting looking at the other vehicles in the second picture. There is an Edsel, A Chevrolet Pick-up Truck and a couple of late model Mustangs. With those vehicles in the background your picturecould have come rom any city in the United States. Fun to note how small the world really is!

Re: 1956 Packard Clipper wheels - need opinion

I just unpack my storage unit and move it to the house.

I have some 8 NOS Hubcaps that match your cars you can have them $50 a set of 4 plus shipping and handling. at cost. Some are still in original Packard paper wraps some not.

Re: 1956 Packard Clipper wheels - need opinion

Some years ago I also thought about mounting them on my '56 Packard Executive, which is technically a twin to the Custom Clipper.

IIRC, these repro wire wheels will not fit junior Packards, or at least need much reworking.

Be sure to approve fit before you buy a set for your Clipper.

Boy, is that a sweet lookin' Packard! Somehow I do not think the rakish stance is stock?
