1949 Packard convertible / CNE Autoshow display
"This was taken at the Canadian National Exhibition at the Toronto Auto Show by the late Dr. Ames. This Kodachome captures the stand with the 1949 convertible and what I think is a 1901 Packard Model C. Packard painted a run of 2,000 Packard in custom gold paint. This photo proves that at least one convertible was painted gold."

| Post Clipper Concept 4

Here are seven illustrations of concept designs for the post-war Packards. They were drawn by Carl G. Evers (1907-2000). Evers is a renowned marine illustrator and artist. He came to the U.S. in 1947 after working as an auto illustrator in Sweden. He created illustrations for Argosy and other magazines in addition to many fine paintings using a nautical theme. You can find some of Evers work on the Internet.
The sketches were concepts for the post-Clipper senior Packards. You can see a Roll Royce and Mercedes Benz influence in some of them. It would have been interesting if these neo-classical designs had been produced, or parts of them incorporated into the post-21st series cars. They would have had most attractive styling, especially with the vertical grille treatment.
The story of how these drawings survived is somewhat typical of other items rescued from the Packard trash bin. When Packard was shutting down, its design studio material was being discarded indiscriminately. John Rienhart was a designer for Packard at the time. He managed to retrieve the original Evers sketches, among other things. Later, in the early 1970s, Rienhart worked at the Ford Design Center, at the same time as a fellow Art Center graduate of my brother?s. He was shown the sketches by Rienhart and was given permission to make copies of them. Knowing my brother?s Packard background, he allowed him to make copies of the drawings, which I am sharing with you.
