A special Packard,
photo no longer available
one-off Packard Motto Special presented in 1953. Not sure who actually penned it. Motto was an Italian (Turin) coachbuilding company established in 1932. The company produced bodies from Cadillacs (the rather horrendous looking Elegante) to Delahayes. In 1946 Motto commenced building aluminium bodies for Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Cisitalia, Bandini and Ermini. By 1963 Motto bodied Franco Scaglione-designed Porsche-Abarth 356 Carrera GTL berlinetta. He also bodied a handful of Ferraris.

From a conservative view point I prefer the flair of the original. Design.
