I learn so much here! It's a great big world out there.
The Executive hardtop is one of my favorite V8 Packard models. I think they really got it right with that one, just the right amount of flash and sportiness, the best looking front (except possibly for the '55 Seniors--I'm torn--and a more understated, stylish back, with the coveted fish-mouth Clipper tail lights. And you could get 'em with a 374!(if you special ordered from the factory) The best power-to-weight ratio of any V8 Packard, I believe, would be the result.
I saw a very nice 4-door Exec over on Craig's List for a decent price, but there were... 4 doors.
Here's one of the ultimate pedestrian-nightmare hood ornaments.
(What kinda car is it? This time I won't give it away with the image title... it's a '51, though, I'll tell you that much.)
