Esquireman... nice job giving the front an aura of Packard. Corner prow in particular is really cool, very distinctive.
PackardSW... wow, what in the world are those? Please provide background for the unaware. Looks to have been inspired by Ex's '66 Duesy. Was there a plan to bring Packard back or was this simply a modeler's fancy?
Since we are in the spirit here are a few more mods working off the earlier AMC-based/Ex-inspired coupe. The sedan sits on an 8 inch extended wheelbase versus the coupe, bumping it up to 130 inches. For the convertible the 122 inch coupe wheelbase is shortened by 4 inches for a more sporty appearance. Haven't worked up a limo yet but since Stageway made them for the Ambassador in 1969, such a car presumably could have developed as a Packard.
