Looks a lot like an old Buick Invicta:

We're pretty lucky it never got built! I'd love to own the rendering though.

That's more of a 'Bunkie Beak' than a horse collar.....

I wonder whatever happened to my 1953 Packard? I also had a 1954 Caribbean and a "regular" 1954 convertible. The last real Packards. Wish I kept those cars back in the day. Funny, I just found some of these pictures cleaning out the clutter.

I really like Packards, particularly late pre-war and the '54 - '56 models. Too bad about the '57 - '58's. What an ignominious end to a great brand.
