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.

What you see in the attached picture is my creation of a Packard "service car". It is done entirely as I thought Packard would have made it. All original 115C running gear, chassis and cab. Even the back window is from the original car. The lettering on the tailgate is raised on the outside and recessed on the inside. The rear fenders are original as are the wheels. Interior upholstery is done in the correct pattern but with leather seating. The canopy shell is from an old Ford which I stripped the aluminum skin off and re-covered with varnished wood. It drives perfectly and, of course, attracts a lot of attention. I hope your viewers enjoy seeing it.
If anyone wants me to email them this picture contact me at rrusko@blacktusk.org .
Regards,
Richard Sladen,
Whistler, B. C.,

| Photo taken by this writer at the North Jersey Auto Show, May 15, 2011. Not a great color choice for a formal body style, but to each his own. |
