That looks all kinds of weird! Can't tell if I like it or not, a lot going on at once.

440 six pack running gear. The ultimate sleeper. Would have to buy it cheap for that to make any sense.

Looks like a '59 Rambler on steroids.

Looks like somebody had a seizure on the assembly line and just started randomly installing parts........

 

[crv]

It's like B horror movie, so bad it's good.

 

[Turboomni]

Packard at that time was all but dead and sticking fiberglass and wings to try to keep up. A very sad story and end to a once great company.

RIP

What’s with the buck teeth? There is a drooling cartoon character that looks a lot like the front end.
But can’t quite place it.

Almost looks like Arnold Driving. They were beautiful cars in an earlier time. The '37 and '56 were two of my favorites.

Beautiful cars they were. You are seeing the last breath of a once great American company.

Get the fishin' pole out there's a catfish in the parking lot! So bizarre, it 's cool. Not when it was new I'm sure.

 

[Turboomni]

It is as cool as ****.. pull up in that you will be noticed ,,good or bad.... Bad? who cares,,,It will be observed,,,,they won't forget it.

 

[Turboomni]

that is an amazingly different ***.

They were definitely an acquired taste, but when in nice shape, they were also very unique and interesting. But clearly the end was near.

And even the wagons look a significantly better when in nice shape:

1 of 159 made. That alone is a reason to restore it, how many can possibly be left? It would be a cool ride.

 

[1978 NYB]

Cool project wagon!

 

[commando1]

Can you imagine the outcome if someone gave it a restomod?

 

[cantflip]

I love that cartoon...

That hard top looks very cool! Too bad they didn't think to make a 4 door hard top wagon.
