    Squablow,
    I really like your '55 Clipper. Though Packard used the older body tub, the hooded headlights are what updates the car. And the Clipper beat rival Lincoln Premiere by a year on that styling cue. But the headlights themselves get lost in there somehow. I tried several ideas (including the '56 Premiere design, but nothing quite looked right. Then I had an inspiration: Get bigger headlights (maybe Rolls Royce?!). I think that works.

    For the grille, I used '54 Buick; similar to the stock Packard, but with just a little more pizazz.
    Here 'tis:

    I like that shape, especially the slight tilt upward toward the back. I may wind up shaping a new sill panel that tapers downward a bit toward the rear, to de-emphasize a slight forward rake in the suspension/frame, and blending the shape of the bottom line by tapering up in bottom edge of the fender skirt would complete the bottom line nicely.

    That Red GMC pickup needs a 12 port 302 Jimmy for power.

    Moose, I love the look of the second version, but you couldn't be much over 4' tall to drive it:D

  8. Floor pan dropped and seat frame lowered and moved back a bit should do it..I'll bet it could be done if you had the "Want To" bad enough:cool:
