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.

Packard Request Show Car, 1955. Designed by Dick Teague based on a 1955 Packard 400 two-door hardtop. The Request was a response to appeals to create an up-to-date version of their pre-1951 classic-era radiator. It remained a one-off

Sometimes something is famous enough that you assume everyone knows its story. Very few old cars - maybe MGBs, 2CVs, early Mustangs, and Beetles - are as familiar today as the #TriFive Chevies. Because they’re still everywhere 62 years after the last one left the factory, it’s easy to forget how exciting they were in the fall of ‘54 and what a change they were from previous Chevies. Most are hot-rod 2-doors these days, and while this one has 2 doors, it’s a horse of a different color - a rare 210 2d wagon. 1.7 million ‘55 Chevies were made, a number almost unfathomable now, but it was the right machine for its time and place. Work started on the ‘55 in mid-1951, but really got underway in the spring of 1952 when Ed Cole swapped places with Chevrolet’s chief engineer Ed Kelley. Cole had come from Cadillac, where he’d engineered that division’s modern OHV V8 in 1947-48. Ford had the low-price V8 world cornered but in the early 1950s V8 were arriving everywhere. Chevrolet’s cars were a good value but had been humble sixes for decades. They were not performance cars and without a re-think, GM worried Chevrolet might fall behind. Cole was first promoted to manufacturing chief, but swapped places with Kelley to get the engineering job he really wanted. His plans for Chevy were much more ambitious - and none other than Alfred Sloan approved Cole’s request to expand Chevy’s engineering staff from 850 to 2,900 to design a clean sheet car and engine for 1955. Kelley’s team toyed with a V6 and a 231-cid V8 design, but Cole found it too small and too heavy - he had his staff, including ex-Packard man Al Kolbe, design a new V8, which became the 265 small block, in just four months. His lieutenant from Cadillac, Harry Barr, oversaw the new chassis and structural engineering. The styling, at first inspired by the ‘49 Ford and the European Ford Consul, morphed into what we know today under the eyes of Chevy’s ace Clare MacKichan and his staffers, including Carl Renner and Joe Schemansky (who later led Holden styling). Aside from the old base six, everything was new and daring - and the car drove as good as it looked - not floaty, not too big, not too small - just right. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzAbCmFU1b/?igshid=nkcpwahqhjfv
