This is the 1952 Packard "Parisian", built for Carl Schnieder by Peter Portugal (as nicanary said). Carl apparently saw the original 1950 Pinin Farina styling drawings at the 1996 Paris Retromobile show, and had the car built along with two others (the "Pacifica" retractable coupe, based on a Saga magazine design contest winner, and the "El Paso" woody station wagon). For the Parisian, he supposedly started with a 1952 Packard 250 Mayfair two-door hardtop.
