All 3 Packard Clipper Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
By 1957 there was no Packard engine left in the Packard Clipper at all — every one left the factory with a supercharged Studebaker V8, part of why the public mockingly called these cars "Packardbakers."
The 1955 Clipper Custom got torsion-bar suspension that no other Packard offered that year — a budget-line car out-engineering its pricier siblings.
Introduced halfway through the model year, the pricier Clipper still notched 16,600 sales in 1941 — nearly matching the full year's 17,100 units of Packard's cheaper One-Twenty.
