m-mman Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So this was built (by a collector?) in the modern era based on proposals/drawings from way back when? If so, that's a lot of work! $42,000 would barely pay for the restoration of a standard sedan. . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivguy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Nicely done and in very good condition. But those Auto Zone clamp on battery cable terminals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I thought this was something created "in period" but Peter Portugal doesn't look too this must have been done in the last 30 years or so. I like it a lot but the interior needs to be a more western cow hide in my opinion. Google Peter Portugal Custom Cars.

bryankazmer Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 there was an article about these 3 cars(Collectible Auto, I think). The fastback coupe is quite attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I really like it! Green, particularly dark green, is my favorite color. This green is a little odd to me... But I would probably change my mind if I saw it in person. Overall I think it would look better if the upper door frames were also done with wood... Seems like a reasonable price and you will have the only one at the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The irony of a post-1950 Packard station wagon is the management briefly considered whether to continue offering the body style in the 1951 200 series promptly decided against it given how poorly the 1948-'50 Eight Station Sedans had sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
