I first thought it was a kit car, when it turned around in my cul-de-sac. Looked like someone had glued styling cues from about 5 different makes together.

Pardon the poor pic. Took this one, and my phone instantly went from 20% battery to zero.

Maybe this is a vampire car...

CORRECTION: Silver Hawk. My bad - the owner said so, but just found the pic and forgot.

Even with it not being a real Packard, I do kind of like the Hawk. (The above isn't an Avanti, btw - it's a Hawk series Stude .)

Hawk, not Avanti. The tailfins are kind of unfortunate, but the basic design was very lovely.

I think that's a Silver Hawk actually.

Crap - the owner told me it was a Hawk, but I forgot. I want to say he called it specifically a Silver Hawk, in fact.

Also, "Avanti" sounds a lot better.

Correct. My bad.

As long as we were once talking about Avantis....

Here, have an Avanti.

There was a hawk sold in the 60s without fins. I've seen it. Looks great
