1956 CLIPPER Custom Constellation Hardtop Coupe

            For model year 1956 the lowest positioned Clipper range was put on the market as a separate brand name.

The complete new designed Packard 1955-1956 range was styled by Richard 'Dick' Teague (US, 1923-1991).
For model year this range underwent a minor restyle. The grille got a different compartmentalization. And the front fenders continue over the headlights further as at model 1955.

In 1954 the Packard Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan, merged with Studebaker Corporation, South Bend, Indiana, to form Studebaker-Packard Corporation, South Bend.
