I'm with Brian on this. Had not seen or remember hearing of this car until the mention here. Anyone who can take some odd pieces and photographs but has the skill to do what he appears to have done --even in the rough stage-- deserves kudos and support.
I can hear the purists complaining also but can't figure why. Believe the only original's demise is well documented. Unless he also has some very deep pockets and time galore, doubt he's going to be going into production & building and selling them as authentic. Even if he did, rough as these photos show, it already looked better than some of the fake modern cars with a Packard name we've been blessed with. And to anyone who bought as authentic, then there is a saying for that too: "A fool and his money is soon parted".
Hope he turned a deaf ear to the static and did finish - I'd sure like to see it.
