More strangeness: Take a look at the trunk lid and while there notice the rear bumper brackets. Can't explain the trunk, but the brackets look like those used with the accessory luggage rack. What a mess.

I've seen one other (obviously non-factory) sidemounted six.
The tires are mounted higher and forward to move the back edge forward for the door to open (and I'm not sure this one still doesn't hit)

We've seen this "full body tattoo" packard a few years ago. New owner is probably tired of it already.

Maybe it was painted by the same guy who did "Further," the 1939 International Harvester bus used by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters during their acid trip across the U.S. in 1964, and later with members of the Grateful Dead. Like this car, Kesey lived in Eugene, OR.

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

Hi

Another LWB sedan turns up, this time a '53:

And to reiterate, the '54 in Texas:

Similarly priced, similar conditions, for those looking for a 'long' project.

Seems like a tough call on which is the better deal on those 1953 and '54 Packard cars.......
