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. . . . .

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.

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!

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.
