Features Where's the Custom Packards?

I like it every time I see it, that's the BOSS right there.

 

You didn't have to post those last couple pics, damn what a loss.

 

Love it, I've always loved the '30's Packards, that's going to be beautiful.

 

Damn MO, that's a sweet Packard.

 

Beautiful Packard, he must be proud. Thanks for posting it.

 

And like MO said "WOW".

 

Here is one I saw at a shop I just had some dealings with. A 1940 Darrin Edition. Not my type, but a very nice ride.

 

Not custom but a little rare. Just picked this one up. 1953-54 Henney/Packard Jr. Ambulance. Only 500 made and it ruined the company. Fun to drive too!

 

Makes you wonder what happened to them when they weren't claimed later on.

There's a 41 on craigslist close to here that's been street rodded with a SBC running gear that I've been watching. Looks like it was nice at one time, kind of a luxo ride, but has ran down and needs paint and maybe some interior work. Have been thinking about calling about it, but too many irons in the fire and not enough time or money for another right now.

 

Nothing he did to that car improved its looks!

Here's one rarely seen....



The Packard Request, a one-off show car built in '55. Many Packard owners lamented the loss of the iconic pre-war vertical Packard grill, so Dick Teague designed this restyle. This car still exists, it was found in a field and restored, with the owner having to have all the special parts re-cast.

 

You realize that was a joke.......

 

i do...that's why i put the laughing emoji at the end

 

Bohman & Schwartz 1940.

1942 Clipper custom

 

Gorgeous work! Completely different and very attractive!

 

Agreed.
Very nice refinement on the Packard DeLuxe rear grille theme.






Bit of trivia: Locating this piece was said to be the hardest part of Tom Philpot's Clarkaiser clone, "Arctic Gold".

 

Would anyone object to a few of my digital Packard Customs?

 

Here is one styled after the Larry Ernst 1951 Chevy second version.

 

This just looks custom for its time.
