Re: Using classics as a business

I didn't mean to hijack this discussion with the Sheik of Kuwait Packard. I guess it is related as this car was a predecessor to the wine tour Custom Super Clippers -- which are definitely using classics (modified as they are) as a business.

Okay, the reason for the extended trunk area. The sheik specified that his Packard be longer than the neighboring sheik's car. No less than 21 or 22 feet (its in the Derham papers that are posted on this site). Derham extended the front bumper (to accomodate a siren that is barely visible in the Derham photo),and fabricated the rather odd trunk extension to satisfy the sheik's vanity.
