Very nice Black Hardtop. It would be a very strong possibility that this one was Mrs. Afton's personal 1958 "Executive Car" Driver if so, I remember it from 1958. Did the build slip show Inglewood, CA or Frank H. Afton Co. as delivered to?

My second clue were the "G" Series '63 Yellow on Black plates that were South Bay area letters.

I am pretty sure this is the one that is shown about every year at the La Palma Meet in Anaheim right?

I never have aquirred the build slip for it.

At the time of purchase in 1973 we lived in Santa Monica,Ca.

Yes, you are correct. I have been to La Palma with it many times. It was one of the cars featured in the article that New West magazine did in 1980 about the Orange Empire Chapter studebaker club

Custom Packard Hawk convertible, part of the Citizens Motor Car Co. Packard museum collection in Dayton, Ohio. Apparently built up at the behest of an S-P exec, but not truly a factory prototype. Pretty neat car, anyway.
