Agreed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and to me, the car is just gorgeous. It might have to do with the fact that I generally consider french coachbuilt big cars of the late 30's to be some of the most beautiful designs ever (Hispanos, Delage, Delahaye, etc), and blending those with a Packard majestic front end... the result just had to be very good.

Is it my imagination or does it look lower than a regular Packard? How many parts would you think were re-used as Packard stock parts? Hood and grille? Perhaps non sidemount fenders?
