Beautiful car if I may say so.

1954 Packard Panther Daytona. Designed by Dick Teague.

One of four, two roadsters, two coupes.  They were design exercises to convince Packard employees and investors that Packard was still capable of producing exciting expensive automobiles.

This one at least had a supercharged straight eight Packard motor.

Here is another photo from another angle.

Cheers
