"As far as the Patrician pictured above, I have only seen one photo of Bill Allison in front of the grill of a '55 senior, which could be the Patrician. It's on pg 593 of the Kimes Packard History. The above information on the prototypes is also from Kimes, pg 590-591."

The photo of Bill Allison on page 593 was taken by Dwight Heinmuller at the 1973 PAC National Meet in Detroit.

BTW - It is not the "Kimes" book -- it is the "James J. Bradley, Stan Grayson, George Hamlin, Dwight Heinmuller, Richard M. Langworth, C.A. Leslie, Jr., Terry Martin, Richard K. Phillips, Don E. Weber and L. Morgan Yost book, with the appendices written by Roger Abbott, Charles Betts, Menno Duerksen, George Hamlin, John B. Montville, W.C. Williams and Bob Zimmerman." Beverly Rae Kimes was the editor, and Richard M. Langworth was the associate editor.
