I wonder what it started out life as, it looks like it has some parts from several different manufacturers on it. A rear view would be nice to see as well. Its one of those cars that could be very cool, or very sad, pretty quickly, depending on which angle your looking at it from. Gene

you cant appreciate from this picture just how far the trunk lid was laid back and peaked to match the tail lights.

Front end certainly looks like a Packard Speedster, Packard tail lights, pretty cool, but as others have said: what's up with that roof?

I think that started out as a 58 Packard which was mostly 58 Studebaker.
