The 1952/53 Monte Carlo
Posted by Owen_Dyneto On 2010/10/21 18:23:59
Some of you older correspondents will recall, in a thread long dormant now about the postwar Packard customs, a discussion about the Monte Carlo of 1952/53 (as differentiated from the 23rd series experimental of the same name). At that time I was asked if the car still existed and where and I responded that it did but I wasn't at liberty to say where.
Those of you who follow the estate sale action may have come across an estate sale in South Carolina with many Packards for sale, one of which is the 1952 Monte Carlo. After a long, reclusive existence, it has surfaced. It's said to have been a miserable road car (inadequate body structural stability), but I suspect it will still go for very significant money.
To those of you to whom this is all new but have an interest, you might go search out that old thread - it was filled with good info on the Panther-Daytonas, Pan Americans, Request, etc. Wish I could put up a link to it, but I'll bet someone else does before I even finish my coffee.
