    Looks like it weighs a million pounds, but I dig it. That thing is cool.

    I don't have any historical perspective on Packard model names. What name would be appropriate for this?

    (I'm thinking something like the 'Packard Safe Mover'.....because obviously it COULD do that.

    It's probably a flower truck for a funeral home.

    It is cool looking to me also, but if it is not carrying a load of lead in the back get some air shocks and /or heavy duty springs.

    Kevin, I bet this has the stock Packard load leveling system. It probably hasn't worked since Nixon was president.
