Re: Kanter's 1952 Packard Limo Restoration

My original uncertainty was whether the supposed production of 4 1952 limousines like mine are the last coachbuilt Packards. Without question ours is coachbuilt, the uncertainty is whether the '53-'54 8 pass cars are coachbuilt or low production. Also are the '53 Formal Sedans by Derham coachbuilt or just modifications. As Derham did not "build" any part of the coach (body) but just modified the rear window (with wood??) as on earlier cars what differentiates their work from a local "customizer" except their proud heritage. The addition of a partition was done by firms other than Derham who put them in taxicabs, certainly not a coachbuilder.
