Also thanks to Steven Kelley for sending in some original watercolors he painted based on the purposed '57 Detroit Packard clays. You will find those in the Packard Pictures>Show and Concept Cars area.

And thanks to everyone else that has been sending in some great photos. This Picture Area has been growing like a weed!

Big Kev -

I think we're all grateful for everything that is donated, but I especially enjoyed those original renderings.

The Four Hundred compares quite well to the pix of the full-size clay that I uploaded back in 2007. Mr. Kelley's work looks just like what a stylist of the day would have put out - absolutely beautiful!

Damned shame these cars never rolled off a production line - as the Seniors looked every bit as good or better than the Mercury and Lincoln lines - even Edsel.
