Pan American concept cars info wanted

Home away from home

Wanted! Looking for information and unusual photos (I already have many) of the Packard Pan American concept cars. Also looking for present owners of these cars for very in-depth historical article. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the car shown being jumped by horses on a popular TV show in the 1950s-60s? Who owned it then and what became of it? Does anyone know of a Pan American located in Europe and who owns it, etc? Thanks!

Ralph Marano of Garwood NJ owns all of the post war Concept cars except the Predictor.I have seen his pan American show car many times.He did an exceptional Restoration.

The only one I'm personally familiar with is the one in the Marano collection here in NJ, it's certainly well-known and frequently exhibited. Photos by this writer.

Hello, yes, I am very aware of Mr. Marano's excellent collection and have seen it personally. But I'm looking for info and photos on other Pan Americans that he does not own. Thank you.

Do you mean Pan American specifically or are you also including the Panthers in that grouping?

Hello... just Pan Americans. Panthers are a whole separate matter in this regard, but are another favorite subject.

Anyway, still trying to locate the Pan American rumored to be in Europe or any info related to it and others. Also trying to get info on the Pan American featured on a TV show many years ago with horses jumping it. Thanks for asking.

Not even the rumor ever heard before. Does the rumor say a country?

Hello...

Yes, one story is that a Pan American is located in France... but I don't know much more than that. Trying to track down any information on this car.

Thanks!

Has the Director/President of The Packard Automobile Club de France not been able to help? Seems an obvious point to start if you haven't already; I believe his name is Jerome Hardy and you can contact the Packard Club de France thru the "Regions" section of the PAC website, or Jerome at jerome.hardy@classiccarnetwork.eu
