Packards - With A Little Help From Our Friends

What if Lincoln, Chrysler, Cadillac, and AMC Had Designed the 1957 Packard?

From "The Daily Drive - Consumer Guide®

1957 Packard Imperious

The year 1956 marked the last hurrah for the “real” Packard. After that, Studebaker tried (somewhat successfully) to turn a Studebaker President into a Packard, but it was too little (literally!) too late.

There are stories of S-P trying to purchase 1956 Lincoln bodies from Ford to turn into Packards, but that idea died on the vine. What if S-P had purchased bodies from Lincoln, Chrysler, Cadillac, or even AMC and then found enough cash to make some sheetmetal and detail changes? Here’s what I think could have been the result.

Be sure to click the "Daily Drive's" link at the top of the page to see more Packards based on Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chryslers and even AMC cars.  

1963 Chrysler Turbine: Ultimate Edition - Jay Leno's Garage

Check out what is probably my all-time favorite car.  Fifty of these Ghia bodied 1963-4 Chrysler Turbine cars were given to 203 people to be used as a normal car for three months.  Logs were kept, impressions recorded, and then at the end of the trial period, these beautiful cars were destroyed. 

Chrysler didn't want to pay the import taxes and tariffs on the Italian-made bodies.  All but 10 were burned then crushed.  Of the remaining cars, Chrysler has three, two are in private hands, and the rest are in museums.

How sad.

Prototype wagons: GM

Where have all the wagons gone?  Many of us out here love the good 'ol station wagon.  More cool than minivans, more practical than a sedan.  There are so many concept wagons out there that I'm splitting them up by companies.  The first is GM.

Caprice Classic Estate (my favorite)

1959 Renault 900

Now here is something that you don't see every day.  Even if you did, you wouldn't know which way it was going.

1961 Cadillac Jacqueline

In 1961, the styling house Pininfarina wanted to create a car for Cadillac to show at the Paris Auto Show that year.  The car was named after the new American First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy and looks remarkably tasteful compared to contemporary Cadillacs of the time.
