Assuming you don’t already own it, what’s your dream Packard? If money were “no object” the Packard that I would like to own would be a restomoded 1949 Packard Custom Eight Convertible Victoria, black with a black top and red tufted interior, an Art Morrison Chassis and LS7 engine mod with wire wheels. The car would look bone stock, but would be super reliable. I would like this to be a vehicle created by the team at ICON 4X4 in Los Angeles, CA. Whilst they are best known for the highly sought-after “Derelicts”, the firm consistently changes the game where auto restomods are concerned. What do you enjoy most about being a part of MCP? What I enjoy most about being a part of MCP are the field excursions and the annual events hosted at the Packard Proving Grounds.
