Steve, the '56 Executive is that much different than the Patrician and 400?

I have a hole in my Crestline series of books, my reference source showing all model years and models of each major car brand;
I never got the Packard book before they sold out, so I am not well versed in Packard details. This looks like a Clipper, and I don't remember anything about an Executive.

The Executive was a Clipper with a 400 front end created for the mid price range to compete with Oldsmobile, Mercury, etc.

I wasn't aware they had 4 lines of cars that year. Learned something new on this one. Thanks.

Yes. It would go nicely with my '55 FM Pebble Beach convertible and '56 DM hardtop.
