OUT ON THE TOWN. The only picture taken of one of the '65 V12 Packards
in public. The occasion was the last day of activity after the shutdown
orders came. It was taken out by one of the crew to pick up his son
after school. This is 1963 and its quiet dignity would, perhaps, have
been a design gamble at the time for anyone except Packard. Do yo
suppose it still exists?

Packard
new concept car by Fernando Gomez.
A
concept vehicle from this year¢s Michelin Challenge Design at the
2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. An
eight-member jury of noted car designers, including David Marek,
Honda¢s chief designer for the Americas, and Frank Saucedo,
director
of advanced design at General Motors, sorted through 200 entries from
48 countries to select the most promising scale models, sketches and
renderings, which are on display.

Next Top Model
Packard
- Designer: Fernando Gomez, age 48, Uruguay
As
the name of his concept car implies, Gomez took inspiration from
classic Packards, which were built from 1899 through 1958. Rather
than a traditional V12, like in old Packards, Gomez envisions a
12-cylinder with three banks of four cylinders. Aluminum hoops around
the wheels create the look of old whitewall tires.
