BH is right about the size of the lights, but I really like the look of the Clipper grille shortened like it is, above that slick bumper. With the correct proportions for the headlights, there would be space below them for the wraparound direction signals (positioned above the grille).

The earlier photoshopped "Request" with the oversized headlights looks very, very like the Rolls Royce style that Rolls used in so many later models. The Packard/Rolls connection goes back to the WWII Merlin V12--Packard has a history of taking a Rolls Royce design and making it work better!

Good show!
