Hi

Ralph has done a wonderful job of restoring and preserving this part of Packard history. I recall seeing it at Hershey as well, glad it's now in the hands of such a capable conservator. How they located the original engine and supercharger is amazing.

Now, here's my personal reaction to the car: does it strike anyone else as looking proportionally like a Packard version of an El Camino or Ranchero? While it's a one-off custom, it certainly isn't on the aesthetic plane of Ed's pre-war personal customs.
