I think the photo Leeedy is talking about is in an early Collectible Automobile (first year) issue that had an article about the 55-56 Packards as well as an article about 1957 plans. It has the Request on the front cover so it shouldn't be too hard to find. In the 57 plans there were lots of interesting designs and there is a black and white photo side view, clearly of a 55-56 design that was a four door hardtop. It had suicide doors on the rear, no visible B piller, tiny chrome fins on the tops of front and rear fenders, and a rather thick rear C piller chrome rain gutters (to further disguise the old body design. I thought the photo was of a clay model or mock up.
