Much of my automotive history knowledge is from reading his extensive writings on a wide variety of vehicles in addition to his long-term editorship of The Cormorant. For that, I am forever grateful.

I did get to briefly meet him and express my admiration and appreciation at the Packard Centennial when I just happened to notice his name tag while he was walking into the Wednesday gathering of a 1K+ Packards at the Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio. He was very gracious and appreciative of my thanks.

R.I.P. Mr. Langworth, your history research and writings continue to be informative, appreciated and enjoyed, a rich legacy.

A '41 clipper, New Mexico car, looks good other than the repaint color choice:

That one is a 1942 Clipper club sedan! Might be worth the long trip to retrieve that one!

It appears to be an abandoned project left at a body & paint shop.

Hi

Paul has shown us Packard had a lot more options to field a broader selection of models based on the 127" wb sedan body by mixing and matching existing tooling to create individual models for different price segments.

The raked vestigial fender sculpting from the 1954 models lends visual movement in unity with the rake angle of the '55 front fenders and counterpart to the cathedral taillight angled frame. With the shorter 122" wb roof shell and wrapped backlight, it would have been an ideal '55 Cavalier sport sedan. The shorter roof contrasted to the rear body mass almost looks like an extended deck, though without actually lengthening the rear overhang.

The Patrician Formal Sedan with the closed roof quarters would carry the ultra-luxury banner to bolster Packard's reputation as America's premiere luxury motor car.

All this with tooling already in hand, too bad marketing couldn't perceive these opportunities at the time.

One benefit of the location is it is a very low humidity area. Without the moisture, rust blossoms slowly and even potmetal keeps surprisingly well. This collection shouldn't be dismissed for scrap until its investigated for what is contains that's worthwhile.

Nice how the SNM accommodated your special photo request.
