Re: What would a traditional Packard "Senior" have looked like in 1951?

Positioned appropriately in front of the Pillars of Power is the imposing '51 limousine.
I dialed the wheelbase back an inch to 140 because the coupe's front doors are not quite 9 inches longer than the sedan's. The body folks could probably have cut 4-1/4 inches at most from the coupe's door outers to weld to the rear doors and some of that length might have been needed for hemming.
I have no work-ups for the 127 Senior convertible with long hood/deck, 300 Ionia 8-passenger station wagon on 127 wb and 140 wb Parade Phaeton derived from limo and possibly sectioned 1.5 inches. Will leave to your imagination.
