That 288 looks very nice! It would appeal to a hot-rodder and is an alternate way of preserving at least a 288 plus (- from the look of it -) a Packard frame (chassis). Original generator / starter / carby etc used as well.

Looks like a simple sports car body has been built on what is principally Packard engine and running gear. Very neat idea and when you think of all the '51 to '54 wrecks out there half-rusted away, and with bodies in un-restorable condition, it presents an opportunity for some enterprising person to draw up a set of blueprints for a simple body "kit" to convert the remains into something like this.
