Re: 1951 Packard Patrician 400 Club Sedan What-If

Here is a different take on the Club Sedan that uses the strategy that Packard employed with its pre-war traditional Seniors, where the Club Sedan was a close-coupled 4-door on a longer wheelbase, the chassis' extra length given to a longer trunk.
For this car the louvers have been removed and the 5 inch longer end panel forward of the decklid is the same as that used on the '55 Four Hundred.
Using the 200 sedan's greenhouse would have been a similar strategy to the all-new '52 Olds 98 sedan, though that car also had a longer rear overhang in addition to its 88 greenhouse being put on a longer wheelbase.
