Hi

That's an intriguing melding of Pan American-Panther architecture built on the stepdown floorpan structures, would have resulted in a real attention-getter in '55. Height could have been as low as the '57 Forward Look Chryslers, in the 54" range.

For the front, a version of the '55 Hudson eggcrate with simple parking lights flanking. For the rear, the Italia flanking fender ends, slimmed a bit, vertical tailight/reverse light units like those on the '56-'57 Ramblers in the ends.

If Packard and Hudson had mergered in '52 and got right to work on this concept, the 1955 sales season could have been a real blockbuster.

Paul, Keep the concepts flowing!
