Randy -

I'm one of those people who don't really like the car much, but there are those who do. In fact, the first time that he came out for the July meet in Warren, John Shireman snapped many photos of that car from all sorts of angles.

Aesthetics aside, one thing that bothers me about this particular car is that some people consider its updgrades to foreshadow 55th Series styling. Yet, I believe the car was purchased from PMCC by McCauley a couple of years before that; then restyled under his direction, a few years later. Was that work even done by Packard?

I think of this car as more of an update - like two of the Panthers that later got the 55th Series taillights.
