What is the story with the rear glass? I've not seen that before.

Avanti:
That is about the most repulsive paint job I have ever seen on any car in recent memory. I'd have to wear a clown nose and a fright wig if I were to drive that think down the road. I guess the owner was trying to turn the 400 into a rod or a custom or something or another and he ran out of dough. Very strange.

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

I know its not CL but I'm sitting here at the Denver airport this morning having breakfast before flying out and this restaurant has a wall full of what looks like post war Packard hood ornaments, or am I wrong?

Would it ever be correct to put Caribbean gear on a 56 senior Packard? For authenticity purposes?
Is this car white and turqouise? The lower section has yellowed?

I restore the car, and the car restores me.

Depends on your definition of "authentic", I suppose. The DeBois dealership in MD Caribbeanized several (maybe as many as 20) and called them Esquires and though they were dealer-done there was supposedly a factory sanction to the work. Other than one of those Esquires I'd say the answer to your question is no unless you define changes that a willing dealer might have independently undertaken to make a sale as authentic.

I think it may be stained -- maybe rust, maybe other. If you can find Jfromkanter's 56 blog you can see his car also had a lot of staining on the white. Believe his was caused by rusty water dripping down from behind the stainless. Amazing how well the paint cleaned up.
