Features Where's the Custom Packards?

I'd drive the hell out of that.

 

One hell of a grocery getter.

 

Wait a minute, what does the rest of the car look Like?

 

Only other pic I can find is snatched off Flickr :

Kanter Auto in NJ owns it.

 

Would love to have a 55 or 56,was offered a 54 limo for free but the dipstick who owned it took it all apart and I had no place to store inside and if I had taken it the city would have been on my ass right away.

 

'52 Special Speedster ~

 

Scale model :

 

I think googling around I found another photo of the same car. It looks like an older photo since there isn't as much rust on the front end.

 

Found another.

 

The caption with this was how it looks 28 years later.

 

This just keeps getting better.
Car appears surprisingly well done, and would have been a good ride for Elvira!



Thanks for posting!

 

^ Those earlier pics are how I remember seeing it circa 1990. Also looks like Rt 287 in the background; Kanter's store is right on the highway. Obviously it's been outside ever since- a shame. Wonder what it's story is...

 

Don't recall where I got this illustration, would love to own a real version.You could badge it the 'bean.

 

1938. (Should be lower. )

 

Maybe not "A Custom", but it is "custom".
1937 Packard motor home.

 

Looks like the "Car-I-Catures" that Patrick Van der Stricht often drew and could be found throughout the Kanter Auto Parts Catalogs.

 

Schwing!

 

How could we not have already seen this?

 

I didn't want to be the one to say this, but the Emperor's got no clothes!
I) Not a scale model
II) Not a Packard.

 

I wonder what the deal is with the exhaust pipe(?) in the hood side and the pipes out the back. Exhaust cutout somewhere I assume. Seems strange on an otherwise smooth build.

 

I wonder why such a well done car was left to rot. Must be a story here somewhere.

 

Ooopsie- wow, how'd I file that as a Packard??

 

Hmmmm .... interesting car. Reminds me a bit too much of the front ends on my 58 Edsel big bodies. Guess someone besides me think they're cool.

 

^^^Dang Mo- tha's the shizz there...^^^

 

1937 Packard four-door, chopped 2 1/2", sectioned 4".

I'd love to see this one finished, with a Packard V8!

 

Don't remember where I found this... hope it's not a problem to show this image... it's just damn cool!

 

Thats cool, I love it.

 

Can't afford a Packard? How about a '53 Chevy restyled after a Packard Caribbean?
