Kanter's 1952 Packard Limo Restoration

Posted by jfrom@kanter On 2016/5/5 9:36:29
We would like to see what the forum members might know about the history of this car. Does anyone know who was the original owner and coachbuilder?

The car has 2 d sedan long front door and fabricated long rear door. It was made by cutting a Patrician in half and placing the front and rear sections on a purpose-built (not stretched) frame. Then the limousine center section was placed in between the two stock units.

To restore it we are using the same method, we sacrificed a '52 Patrician. Note that the limousine was built with a 53 trunk and '53 hood ornament and grille. There are no coachbuilder's nameplates on the body and no tags on the floor.

Thanks
James
