This Brooklin Packard started life as a damaged and missing parts coupe.  Already had a coupe so converted the damaged one into a sedan.

I like it, John.  BRK's Light 8 is the only such Packard that I know of, with that beautiful, unique interpretation of the Packard grill.  Here's the closest I can get to a companion sedan, and it's not very close.

But I'll take opportunity of the moment to show this fine Packard sedan. It's kind of special.

Quite similar except for the shovel grill.   Here's the website I used for guidance.

Thanks, John.  Great sedan!  And you did well by it, too.
