Yes, The 1935 Seniors radiator and shell have a subtle slant, maybe between 5-10 degrees. This mystery Packard has that shell and the Twelve hood side panels.

Its possible that once Ed Macauley was finished with his Speedster, it was sold complete or chassis with fenders to an export customer. The company would be nervous about a highly modified, non-standard chassis being released to an American buyer which could turn into a liability. One possible scenario how this car came to be.

Many of the Chrysler Ghia concept cars of the '50's were sold offshore for that same reason.
