Arra! You were close! Old redneck, you sort of have it enough to call it done.

Technically, its a Packard Hawk; unofficially its a rebadged Stude.

The main difference is the fish lips frontend which is fiberglass. Only about 588
were sold. It was Packard's fastest car ever.

The deck lid was also different from a Stude Hawk.

I got to see one of these in a museum in Montana on a vacation trip last fall.

The google reference also said these were $700. higher in price than the Stude.,

and though the fish face wasn't a super hit then, that now people have shown more interest.

So Mr. Old redneck; the wheel is in your hands!
