The 1957 Packard Clipper was based on Studebaker's largest, most expensive model, the President Classic. It was designed in a short time in late 1956 and incorporated many Packard appearance items including taillights, upholstery, and the 'Reynolds Wrap' side trim of the 1956 models. It was powered by a 289 cubic-inch supercharged V8 engine that produced 275 horsepower and rode on a 120-inch wheelbase. Priced at $3,210, only 4,809 were sold including 3,940 sedans. The Packard brand was discontinued after 1957 year.
Restoration of this car was challenging due to its rarity as a one-year model. While mechanical components shared with Studebaker are easier to find, the unique trim pieces such as Clipper script and gold trim pieces took years to locate. Some pieces, such as the lighter fabric of the seat upholstery, had to be custom reproduced.
