Re: Executive script position

Mixing existing components of the 55th and 56th series, the Packard of my dreams would look like this:
Starting with an Executive Hardtop, it would retain it's most beautiful parts (to me): Front clip (no Caribbean hood because I like the cormorant or whatever it is
), and the Clipper tail lights. I then would take the side trim of the '55 senior, complete with running lights, and the '55 Clipper trunk lid which looks to me more graceful than the "fat" back of the '56. The trunk would get the rear trim of the '55 senior. The Caribbean would donor the engine (of course), the reversible seat benchs and side panels (I'm happy with the Exec's dash and instruments), the wire wheels (which is, as far as I understand, a little bit tricky on the 122" chassis), dual rear antennas, and the Hypalon roof - in black, please, as the car would get Naples Gray paint. Interior would either be red or red and black. And the script on the trunk lid would read "Grey Wolf III"
In the real world, my Exec is far too good to become such a rig. It will stay original and I just love is...
