Always interesting.

I have a newspaper clipping dated Oct 1952, that says the Pan American sports car will be on display at Albert J Meek Sunday thru Thursday. He was the Packard dealer in Fort Worth.

The article states only 10 models of the Pan American have thus far been built, but Packard expects to build about 1,000 in the next year.

I have a photo by RW Graves with 5 women one identified as Queen in one of the fender mounted antenna Pan American. It appears to be in a stadium setting. Iin addition to naming the women it says only 6 made, but it also says it's a 1953 Caribbean. The car has 1953 California plates, but are not the dealer plates.
