Hi

Viewing the recent details discovered on the convertible indicate that it was professionally built. While Henney's stock and trade was professional car coach building, occasional individual customizing jobs were undertaken, such as the Formal Club Sedan for the Canadian Prime Minister on a '51 Business Coupe in 1953 (Neal, page188). Its a reasonable possibility that an individual or Packard dealer saw the Monte Carlo hardtop, contracted Henney to customize a used '48 Super Eight convertible with styling features for that car utilizing 23rd Series trim components. If in building the Monte Carlo hardtop more than one set of nameplates were cast, that would be good evidence of a direct link.
