Good eye JD (and good screen capture on the pic!) I'm not quite sure what you're seeing with the grill, though. To me, it looks like there are horizontal bars across the fronts of the fenders. Maybe they're not the "whiskers" you describe, though.

Anyway, I'll bet Mr. Willett is the kid in the picture. He's obviously a Packard fan, and doesn't that often start in one's younger years?

Also, there's a shot of a very weird promo car mounted on a pole that shows up when Tom is singing about the "Packard Caribbean had torsion bar suspension." What the heck is that white monstrosity? Anyone?

If you haven't watched the video yet, I think this is just such a likable ditty I listen to it periodically. It cheers me up. I wasn't always confident in my teens, but I think I know what he's talking about. I certainly didn't worry about getting old! But, alas, I have not yet had an opportunity to invest in high rise condos.

Cheers!
