Hi

Yes, that's one of Fred Hudson's marvelous designs. He was an immensely talented young designer when he worked of Packard. He contributed greatly to the still-born '57 Packards and Clippers.

It is such a shame that so much of Fred's Packard design work never saw production. He did generously share his wealth of period design work with the Packard Club to publish in The Cormorant before his passing. A friend knew him through frequent contact over the years discussing his time with Packard, tells me Fred was a first-class, great guy.

We're losing them fast now, fifty years plus their age then...
