Nice patina- pitted chrome etc.... The long hood hides a massive flathead inline 8 cylinder.... tons of torque to move this brown beast. I love the sun visor, the huge bumper guard in the back as well as the 'Buck Rogers' taillights.
I once owned one of these, only mine was a limo. I bought it for $250.00, over my dad's objections. By the grace of God, I was able to find the parts I needed to overhaul most all the main systems. It was the only one I'd ever heard of with an automatic transmission and I think power brakes. My band and I travelled around in style. That thing rode as if you were riding on a cloud. Not to mention all the torque we had to pull our trailer that was full of musical equipment. Man, I still wish i had it today.
Best of OPC.

........wow.
Stunning shots, especially the "PACKARD" emblem and the tail-light/signal light ones.
totally boss car to cruse around in. I love the lines.
excellent shots, and great eye, looking up behind the visor!
love the paint finish on this.
These always me of Doc Emmett Brown's car from Back to the Future... Awesome car though and great pictures

You can bet this looked like a science fiction future machine in 1950. Still looks cool today.
There was one of these garaged next door to us when I was a kid. I remember the day they finally tarted it up! Awesome color on this one.
