Courtesy of The Packard Club's article on the postwar Derhams from 1976, here's 3 photos. The 47 Clipper 4 door convertible is the near-twin to the one shown earlier in this thread, but this one is identified as the Sheik of Kuwait's car. The 22nd series Super Eight town car obviously also involved a fair bit of panel work, but the 22nd Series Custom 8 sedan appears to be no more than a slightly gussied-up standard car, perhaps with smaller oval back window? Hope you enjoy them.

Owen: In your last post in this thread the second picture you posted is also found in the Packard book by Kimes on page 539. Which I made reference to in an earlier post I made in this thread.
It also seems that a prior post I made in this thread, and the question that I asked Guscha and his answer to me, brought some new life this thread. So in some ways you owe Guscha, West, and myself a word of thanks for bringing it back to life, even though it may have gone off course a little. John F. Shireman

While exploring The Making of Michigan website and I found the following picture. The picture is of the window glass divider of a 1953 Henney Corperate Limo.

Lloyd,
I've never seen one yet, not even a picture.

Don't forget that there's a nice scene in The Godfather with a 1954 Packard Limo, even an interior shot with Al Pacino inside.

I apologize for deviating slightly from the "postwar" theme of this post, but I came across this photo of a one-off by Darrin on a 1942 Clipper built for Errol Flynn. This photo, from an old issue of The Packard Cormorant, has had a lot of exposure over the years, but hopefully it will be new to some of you. Pretty handsome car!
