Re: A drawing - What If Packard had Survived?

I'm hardly qualified to comment on this particular creation, I like the enthusiasm behind it's creation.

But the links to other, real "Packard recreations" is curious in that they're all caricatures of past great ones, they lack any sense of modernity or creativity or evolution of those design concepts. I'm reminded of the very ugly current RR 'Phantom'..or any new Bentley..which seem like a mish mash of past styling cues from widely divergent eras, giving both cars either a vulgar...or just plain silly....appearance. Sure, there are cues from the past that should be incorporated, but they should always be sympathetic to contemporary norms.
