'58 Packard Station Wagon

1958 Packard Station Wagon. These were a rare sight when new since there were only 159 produced so you can imagine how infrequently they are seen today with an estimated 20 still surviving. This one was seen at the Packard Concours held in Orange, CA on January 28th 2012.

'56 Packard Tailights with an extra fin tacked on create an overdone look to the rear of these wagons.
