1952 Packard Phantom II. If there was only one of these made then this has been modified. Otherwise Packard built more than one. Apparently owned at the time (1957) by James Melton

It was taken at a VMCCA event in MA in 1957.

You don't get the full effect of the work that went into restyling the Convertible shell to create the Pan American until you see it from this angle. The rear fenders were not stretched to accommodate the "continental" spare tire carrier, but the trunk lid was actually relocated forward.

Based on the 250 Convertible, a full four inches was sectioned out of the body and front and rear springs were modified to achieve the low-slung look of this prototype sports car. A stylish, yet functional, hood scoop funneled air to a (then) novel 4-barrel carburetor, perched on a modified Thunderbolt eight that pumped out 185hp. Interest in this custom-bodied car lead to the production of the 1953 Caribbean.

The Request was styled in response to letters from many customers asking for the return of the classic Packard vertical grille. For years, its fate remained something of a mystery, but this one-off concept car was found in the early 1970s, languishing outdoors in Oregon, and acquired by a collector, who undertook a painstaking restoration.

Shots of Predictor taken by one of the museum staff as a present for Howard Hanson in 1982. Unfortunately the staffer didn't have time to develop film first (long before digital cameras and 1 hr photo), just sent it to the person who arranged the surprise. It was very underexposed due to horrible lighting in area where they had to the car.
