53 Our 1949 Panache is another example without its history. We call it the “Panache” because it is built on a Nash chassis with a modified Plymouth/Nash body. Beautifully designed and built in the style of a late 1940s Alfa Romeo coupe, but no results yet on who built such a striking car. When America was building hot rods, someone painstakingly created an homage to a European car – not often done during those times. Research continues. Mysteries abound in what we do and the cars we find, but as I said earlier…”who doesn’t like a good mystery?” Such a mystery was at stake when we decided to pull the trigger, find the elusive Packard Monte Carlo that we had glimpsed in a single online photo and bring it home to Tampa, Florida. As my friend Rollie Langston often says about Undiscovered Classics and what we do… “The Adventure Continues….” Craig Johnson (left) and Richard Brown (right) Pose Next to Monte Carlo on Trip From Houston, Texas to Tampa, Florida
