You identified it, Steve. There was still a market for Packard formality. Ionia the perfect source unless Conner was possible. At that point Packard ran the plant so could do whatever it wanted.

I had run out several work-ups before settling on the one shown. Here are a few others that speak to your preferences.

First addresses Don's concerns. Still has the faux B-pillar but now painted same as rest of car. Second shows possibilities with two-toning.

Third and fourth are bkazmer's suggestion for chrome on all vertical frame surfaces, which I took to mean all window frames. I concluded that it looked too chrome heavy, but these are just rough work-ups. Might look much better on an actual car.

Fifth is similar to original image but on an Executive, or rather my dream Executive. It sits on a 127 chassis with a 5 inch extended panel between hood and windshield.
