Crowds were awestruck by the Packard Predictor dream car as it revolved on a turntable during the 1956 Chicago Auto Show. Painted pearlescent white, the ultra-modern two-door hardtop featured hidden headlights, wrap around and wrap over windshield, retractable roof panels, see-through tail fins, and exhaust ports in the rear bumper. Predictor was equipped with torsion-level suspension, a 300 horsepower, 374 cubic inch Packard V-8, and an Ultra-matic transmission with electronic push-button control. Though only 4.6 ft. high, Predictor was 18.5 ft long.

| The Predictor was the darling of the 1956 Chicago Auto Show. It was never meant for production, but to gauge public reaction to styling and features of the intended 1957 models. The car survives in the Studebaker National Museum and was restored to its full glory in 1990. |

| This full-size clay model is what Packard designers had intended to be the 1957 Clipper, in two-door hardtop form. Four-door Clippers in both hardtop and sedan styles were also in the plans. |

| This full-size clay model is what Packard designers had intended to be the 1957 Four Hundred, continuing in two-door hardtop form. The styling would have likely carried over to a Patrician four-door sedan, but a Patrician/Four Hundred four-door hardtop was also in the plans. |
