A jaguar interior and a vipor engine in a Packard? SHAME ON THIS GUY. Congratulations on making this car's value proceed donwn in the basement sir. Taking a true antique Americana and destroying it.
We don’t know what the condition this car was in before he took ownership. It may have been too far gone to restore back to stock. It might’ve had a non Packard engine swap done in the 50s, with the original long gone. The interior may have been completely unsalvageable. ...Wheels too. With a car that rare, while it would be a crime to modify, if you simply don’t have access to original NOS parts, why not make it your own? He is able to drive and enjoy this car, and by restoring it, it saves it from becoming a complete loss, able to be brought back to original for the next owner, if he or she is able to recreate what should have been. It can be driven for years while the owner waits for a correct replacement engine to spring up on eBay or through old fashion word of mouth, if such an engine or parts car exists.
I gotta go check this out hope they still have it
That 54 chevy is sick...409! That thunderbird is equally sick!

I was just at that show and I happened to see an Auburn motel speedster
The 35' Plymouth Taxi reminded me. There is a 30' something Plymouth Pick-up Truck in need of restoring. It's in Aulander, NC .
Love the 40 packard, and the t bird with the starliner top! The bel air convertible, rare... Awesome cars thanks for sharing
That 62’ T- bird is amazing! Love the color!
Viper powered Packard. Cool!
The interior of the Packard makes it look like a kitcar
Thunderliner, nice, interesting how most T Birds had amazing interiors stock
pre 1962? i dont agree with that, maybe pre1972 like most intelligent hot rodders tend to agree with

It is a REAL upgrade.
