Its just not any old Packard, that is the Packard Request - a styling excerise undertaken to see how a traditional Packard grille would look mated to the (then) current (1955?) Packard of the time. I believe that the body was an off white with a dark brown metallic, and the project was authorized by Nance himself. The car was thought to be cut up years ago Packard destroyed its styling excerises like many other Detroit companies. Collectible Automobile did a story on it back in the mid 1980s (I think).Last edited by stude62; 06-11-2010, 10:38 AM.

The request is owned by a New Jersey collector named Ralph Marano - see this link - http://classiccars.about.com/b/2009/...ncept-cars.htm
There was a similar vehicle called Black Bess a 1957 concept that was cut up, Nance told the guy to do it and then afterwards said "what have you done, I meant that one!!!" the guy nearly killed him LOL.John Clements
