Hi Roger

Thanks for pursuing and documenting this piece of Packard history with the young man. As most prototypes are scrapped before the public ever has a chance to have them, only an internal sale to a trusted employee would ever get one out intact. As the family keep the car so long without selling it to a non-Packard employee, one wonders whether a non-resale agreement had to be signed beforehand.

Although it is a shame that it has come to such a ruined state, might be well if an expert in early Junior series models examined the remains for details as to how it differs from the general production.
