I guess you could get to your "Final Resting Place" in the rain sleet or snow! No excuse not to get there! LOL

Definitely falls into the "Why be Normal" category. That's pretty cool, I wonder what chassis it is sitting on.Pat Dilling

This is what's known in the hobby as a "Frankenstein Monster" with parts swapped from lawd only knows what.
It doesn't look like any 1953 Packard-Henney I've seen.
The hood with PACKARD letters is from a 1951, the grille is 1951 200. Front bumper is 1951/52. Hood ornament is 1952/54.
The stone guards are 1951/52 400, the rear mouldings are missing. Front fender mouldings are 1951/52 and 1953 Clipper.
Dunno what the headlamps doors are from, they're not from any Packard. Engine appears to be from a chebbie, probably the usual 350.
IMO, this is a prime example of 'a fool and his money are soon parted.' Who would be the potential buyers?Last edited by WinM1895; 02-11-2014, 12:33 AM.

Really. I agree.

I think I could make something cool out of that that would be marketable for about another 10K. Unfortunately, that would require a price much less than the 12 K, and that's assuming that the build so far was done correctly. Still, it's kind of cool and unique.Proud NON-CASO
