Here's the best photo I can find of the Piaf car, presumably 5699-1228:https://www.gtdreams.com/_Rochetaillee/index.php?album=Rochetaillee&j=33&photo=Rochetaillee_071.jpg&page=2&part=1[/quote]

Eeeek! You're hurting my eyes! Yes, seen the photo before. The interior has been re-done at least a few times (it once had Mercedes-Benz seats) and...OMG!

That poor Caribbean. Somebody, somewhere (and it wasn't Packard) sat down and said... "Hey! I gotta cool idea. Don't tell anybody because they may wanna copy it! Let's repaint this car into silver-gray, pink and charcoal on the bottom! THEN... now get this...THEN... let's yank the interior and stuff in seats from some other car... and upholster the whole shebang in... BROWN! Makes sense, huh? Whadaya think?"

Ghastly.
