Very... unusual '52. Needs work and unclear if it has the original drivetrain. Seller is asking 5500, but I wouldn't want it for half that.

Wildly historically inaccurate as this type of nose art was only seen on WWII military aircraft. If he had done this with a prewar Clipper, I could sort of get it, but not on a 1952 200.

General McArthur did have a Packard staff car during WWII but it was a 1942 Clipper. With Air Conditioning. Not sure if he used in Korea. And I really doubt he would have gone for the scantily clad woman painted on the fender!

This kind of reminds me of the time I was watching a movie set in Europe during WWII and in one scene, you see General George S. Patton arriving at HQ in a 22nd Series bathtub Packard done up as a staff car. No excuse for this other than sloppy research.
