1955 Packard Request. Creative Industries modified the third 1955 Packard Four Hundred to come off the assembly line. The Request debuted at the 1955 Chicago Auto Show, then did a tour of Packard dealerships.

The incredible vehicle was left to deteriorate in a field after being involved in an accident. The current owner restored the Request to its pristine condition. The front suspension was beefed up to properly support the added weight of the unique hood and front bumper, which weigh 1,040 lbs. alone. The original interior was recreated, and the exterior was painted in the original ivory and copper hues.

1955 Packard Request Concept Hardtop Coupe

Displaying Packard's new style for 1955, Dick Teague convinced Packard president James Nance that their newest show car should pay tribute to the classic vertical grille. Creative Industries did the modification on the third 1955 Four Hundred to come off the assembly line, and the car debuted at the 1955 Chicago Automobile show. Teague remembered he named the car 'The Request' as he wanted to reinstate the Packard radiator grille.

After the 1955 car show season and a tour of dealerships, the car returned to Detroit. When Packard closed its doors in the Motor City in 1956, the car was driven out of the factory and disappeared for nearly 20 years. It finally turned up in Washington State - it had been sitting in a field after being involved in an accident. Major repairs were done to the front end and the Request reappeared at the Packard Club convention in Oakland, CA, in 1983.

The current owner acquired the car and found more work needed to be done. The front suspension was beefed up to support the added weight of the unique hood and front bumper (which weigh 1,040 pounds alone) and the original interior was recreated. New exterior paint recreates the original ivory and copper tones.

🇺🇲 Let's explore the captivating story of The Packard Four Hundred—a symbol of luxury and prestige in mid-20th century automotive history! Introduced during an era of opulence and innovation, The Packard Four Hundred captivated drivers with its exquisite design and unrivaled craftsmanship.

🚘 The Packard Four Hundred made its debut in 1955 as the flagship model of the Packard lineup, representing the pinnacle of automotive luxury and elegance. Boasting sleek lines, chrome accents, and a commanding presence on the road, it quickly became a symbol of status and sophistication.

🛞 Beneath its elegant exterior, The Packard Four Hundred showcased advanced engineering and cutting-edge technology. Equipped with a powerful V8 engine, it delivered smooth and effortless performance, while its plush interior offered unmatched comfort and refinement for passengers.

💔 Despite its initial success and acclaim, production of The Packard Four Hundred came to an end in 1958. One of the key factors contributing to its discontinuation was the changing landscape of the automotive industry, marked by increasing competition and shifting consumer preferences.

🌟 Nonetheless, The Packard Four Hundred remains a symbol of automotive excellence and craftsmanship, leaving an indelible mark on the history of American automobiles.

Marty dragged his other self into the corner and fished the Packard’s keys out of his jacket, realizing the totality (or lack thereof) of Doc’s plan. If he did this — if he took his past self’s place — it wouldn’t just be for the lightning strike.  He’d have to wake up the next morning to his new life, let Doc take him and Jennifer to 2015 where Biff stole the almanac, return to Hell Valley, then come back to 1955 to get the book back from Biff.  Where he watches Past Marty, again, get jumped after Johnny B. Goode.  And has to take his place at the lightning strike. It’s a time loop.

Hoping to have this new WIP done in the coming weeks! :D

International Trucks D-Line 1510 ute at the Packard & Pioneer Museum.

The D-Line utes were produced from 1955-75 as a replacement for the C series (a C1200's headlights can be seen in the left-hand side of the frame).

Unfortunately for International Harvester, the D-Line never made a noticeable dent in the American pick-up market. This, coupled with the oil crisis of the mid-70s and the fact that IH utes were not fuel efficient, killed the line in 1975.

I don't know whether any came to New Zealand as utes, although a number were modified and used as ambos. This particular one was imported from Queensland, Australia.

Willys Aero-Ace

On Mar 5, 1952 Willys introduced the Aero-Ace. The Willys Aero was a line of passenger cars manufactured first by Willys-Overland and later by Kaiser-Willys Corporation from 1952 through 1955. The father of the Aero was Clyde Paton, former engineer for Packard Motor Car Company. The Eagle and Lark models were built from 1952 to 1954. A Wing model was available only in 1952, a Falcon model in 1953, and a taxicab in very limited production in 1953 and 1954. The Ace was the only model built through all U. S. production. 1955 saw two new models, the two- and four-door Ace sedans (renamed Custom shortly into the production run) and two-door hardtop Bermuda. Production in the U.S.A. ended that year as Henry J. Kaiser decided to give up the Kaiser and Willys Aero lines and concentrate solely on Jeeps. A total of 91,377 Aeros were built in Toledo.
