1938 Sport Sedan What-If
Posted by Mahoning63 On 2011/10/14 22:35:19
If I could travel back in time and plead with Packard to do just one car, this would be it. Not only to bop the Sixty Special down the moment it reared its head but as a clear statement that the low slung Cord 810 and multicylinder Zephyr did not go unnoticed at East Grand Blvd two years earlier.
Wheelbase is 135 inches, height is a few inches lower than the '38 Junior, running boards are history and underhood is a monobloc 423 V12 with 180 HP based on the 282's bore/stroke. The biggest news is a Safe-T-Flex independent rear suspension that gets the floor height down while keeping it flat, and as a nice side benefit offers the best ride in town.
I know we've already covered this idea but I wanted to show you guys this new image based on the Rollston Town Car. The only thing missing is a V-windshield, which I didn't think I could pull off with quality.
All thoughts welcome as usual.
