Bernardi, your photocopies of The Cormorant article are in the post. Contains some good observations and details on the construction features and the "refurbishment" back in 1975. The car was built in October 1954 and many of the components that appear to be stock 1955 items were not. Tail lights for example were hand-made, shimmed, glued, etc. And much more. The car was apparently sold "out of Packard" in 1957 and quickly went "underground" with rumors abounding that it had been scrapped. Larry Dopps of Oregon found it decaying away in a field in Oregon in 1974.
