 Re: 52(?) Non-factory sponsoredI'm curious as to whether or not you took this photo. It almost appears to be "photoshopped".

Re: 52(?) Non-factory sponsored No, photo was taken by myself on film and not modified. If you look closely at the lower front fender you'll see the Pinin Farina logo who did the coachwork.

Re: 52(?) Non-factory sponsored The story is that Carl Schneider, of Eureka, CA, found and purchased a set of Pininfarina renderings for this particular car at the Retromobile show in Paris, France (Europe's answer to Pebble Beach?) back in the early 1990s. He later commisioned a fabricator to buid this fastback coupe (dubbed the "Parisian"), plus two other concepts that Packard never built. These cars were covered in the April 2002 issue of Collectible Automobile magazine.

Re: 52(?) Non-factory sponsored I saw this car in person at the Citizens Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio (same place that bought the Packard Factory doorway).
It is really a stunning car, and if I ever had the means to purchase it, or have one built, I would in a heartbeat! |
