Goldfingers Other Car. Warren, OH
1951 Packard Pan American
Designed by Richard Arbib and built by the Henny Motor Company from a 1951 "250" convertible, this show car headlined the Packard exhibit at the 1952 New York International Motors Sports Show and won the show's top award. "The Gold Trophy" was presented for outstanding design and engineering achievement.
Five more Pan Americans were built and displayed at various shows for several years, and the design inspired the 1953 Caribbean. This one was driven by Edward Macauley, Packard's chief stylist for a time and restyled from its original 1952 appearance with 1955 styling and instrumentation by Packard.
