Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

fellow V-8 folks, check out the 1955,1956 and show car catagories, I downloaded a bunch of pictures from my 8 x 10 collection, mostly V-8 cars. I also sent a 41 Cliper photo shoot shot and a 1933 interior shot

Hey, John, the more the merrier.

I was thinking the "Show and Concept Cars" category was created more for prototype cars (busting them out of the "Factory Photos" section), but mebbe those auto show pix of yours fit in there. If so, I think Big Kev should move the one with the T-L show chasis to that category. OR do we need a category for "Factory Car Shows" - to keep 'em separate from hobby events?

Elsewhere, you have a pic from a show in a hotel setting. Would that be the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco?

Pushbutton: here are some pictures from my personal collection.

John,

Those are great pictures. Can you add those to the Picture Library so they do not get lost down the forum threads.

Thanks,

Yes, those PanAm pix would be very appropriate for the "Show and Concept Cars" category. They were gorgeous cars.

Big Kev & Brian: I reposted the two pictures of the Packard Pan American in the Show and Concept Cars category.

I also posted a third picture from my private collection of the Pan American at the New York Auto Show in 1952.

Thanks John,

I think more people will find those pix in the site's well-organized Gallery of "Packard Pictures" than in the Forum thread. Anyone who is fond of Packard's postwar efforts and the 1951-54 styling will certainly appreciate them.

Those are some gorgeous pix and very much in keeping with the image that Packard needed to project. I believe the Pan American won top award at the LA Show the year.
