Perhaps you are referring to what many have called the 1951 Packard Pininfarina. If so, see post #10 in this thread for more info on a fastback concept car that was conceived, but never executed by Packard. Also, check the "Show & Concept Cars" folder in this site's Photo Archive for pix and additional details in the comments.

I'm not talking about the Pininfaria design built by Peter Portugal. This would have been a model or a clay mock-up done as styling exercise back before '51. I read about such a model existing in a forum on the Hemmings site some time ago, but neversaw any pictures. It might have been all BS, but I would expect Packard to at least contemplate the style. Considering GM was building fastbacks across its lime at that time.
