joe kastellic Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Where is a good source to find options that were offered on the 56 Clippers? I don,t have a dealer's salesmen hand book which would have such information, and I would like to have this in my Packard library but the last one sold on EBAY for 700.00 dollars!! I would rather put that amount of money in upgrades and repairs.any help would be great, thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cnbed Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm right here - busy planning the next issue of TPC. It features articles on Charles Vincent (Manager of the Packard Proving Grounds), a 1956 Caribbean restored in the 1980s by the original owner, a 1916 Twin Six built for Gen. Pershing, a selection of 1912 trucks and the (proposed) Packard / AMC merger. It will be in the mail about 30 days from now. Enjoy! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe kastellic Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Brain, Bill Pressler and I went to the Crawford Auto-avation musem in Dec.04 and spent about 4 hours in the library of course I asked for information on 56 Packard ,and was not really impressed with what they had. I happened to find more infomation on diffrent years of Studebakers. If I get a chance maybe I might find some thing at the Packard musem in Warren, I have e-mail them in the past with a few questions, but they have yet to answer my questions. BTW I was impressed by the amount of information that is available for auto enthusiasts at the Crawford musem if you get a chance its worth the trip, and you get to see a lot of great cars. thanks again Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Pushbutton Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Joe, I have a '56 salesman's book which lists options, and a small (original) pamphlet of 1956 accessories. If I get a chance, I'll scan the pages. Years ago we had a guy in our local PAC chapter with a very nice '55 400. He went on a rampage buying everything in that pamphlet and fastening it to his car. It was truly what the bikers call a "full dress garbage can". He called the accessories "Niffy-naps", which to this day makes me cringe.
