1956 Packard Predictor
This hand-built (by Ghia) car traveled the auto-show circuit as a sneak-peek into the styling of the proposed 1957 Packard. Alas, it was not to be.
Its extended nose found its way onto the '58-'59 Edsel and late '60's Pontiacs; its bubble wraparound windshield inspired the one on millions of 1959-1960 full-size GM cars; its backward slanted rear window was reincarnated in the "Breezeway" windows of early-to-mid-'60's full-size Mercurys.
