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.
another 8x10 glossy I bought at the DPL-NAHC sale in '82. See other picture marked "Don Weiland Packard painting" to see picture painted from this photo by noted automotive artist Don Weiland.
Delivered new to Wright Motors, Winnipeg, Manitoba in October 1947. Mostly original with a very old repaint. Deluxe window trim added sometime along the way.
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. .
