Re: 1956 Packard "Esquire" Replica

Our "Esquire" will have the Caribbean hood. It is, fortunately, sitting in our shed as I write this. I also commissioned Kepich to do "Esquire" side scripts and a new trunk script that was never done by DuBois. He used a smaller version of the sidescript for the back right trunk insignia. I always thought that looked odd with the stock "Packard" production script on the left. So, I designed an "Esquire" script that matches that of "Packard".
Since it's a replica, I'm doing just a slight customization here and there, plus, a few details that Mr. DuBois might not have thought about.

By the way, the scripts are available on E-Bay for all you "Esquire" owners (I'm jesting!). Thanks for the posting of Hamlin's real "Esquire".
