Dick Teague would have been proud of this one. An AMC Hornet(Australian Assembled Rambler Hornet) with a 1956 Packard 400.

Some detailing/cleaning/polishing done on chrome and alloy bits. Thanks to Autosol. Most needs rechrome but I thought I preserve it as much as I can in the meantime.

The holes are in the wrong spot for my mascot! Hood is from a 55 Clipper of unknown origin.

Described as "an ambitious body restoration" makes me feel better about my project.

Very much like a 1956 Packard But the Dagmars are not aligned with the headlights, like the 55, but are shaped like 56 Mercury Montclair. Attach file: (141.22 KB)

Noticed this 400 in Dexter Michigan on Ebay.
It's serial number 5687-2343 is right next to my 5687-2344. Maybe I should buy it to have a pigeon pair.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/121436844970?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Your welcome anytime Mal. Looking forward to that Somersby Garden party in November but we don't think we'll make it in our Packard!

Sorry about the grainy photo, need more light. Its just the end of th rubber stopper which fouls the ignition barrel.
attached is the handpainted on the roof 4 digit serial, 9970, not factory? possibly boneyard? Not an Esquire just these six holes in the drivers side only. Attach file: (36.19 KB)

Fitted a Packard wheel to replace a bodged up one which had the wrong stud patern. Car rolls better now. Tried to fit the rear 55 bumper I have but the 56 brackets have a larger off centre cam like bolt so I need to find a drill press. 1/8/2014 Fitted the glovebox door but found one hinge fouled on the starter switch. What did I do wrong? Noticed some holes for a small plaque on the drivers side front fender, where they put the Esquire badge. Who would put such a small plaque on their car? Next task is to get the trunk lid to close. But need a new hinge. Would 51-54 Clipper hinges fit? Attach file: (12.01 KB) (34.21 KB) (29.67 KB) (43.34 KB)
