Here is an interesting vehicle and story.
Henney President Charles Feldmann contracted Richard Arbib to create a "Super Station Wagon" built on a Packard Ambulance body. This was a prototype that was rejected by Packard because of the tremendous weight. The cost in 1954 was $13,000.00 to build. It featured blue two-tone leather seating, seats for 12, "observation lounge", retractable table, and beverage cabinet. The story goes that Feldmann used it on his estate for years but when Packard was taken over by Eureka in '58 it had then become property of that company and at some point was sold. Around 1963 it was spotted in Port Chester, New York in a vacant lot with nothing wrong with it, left abandoned and forgotten. Some time in 1963 the car was then vandalized and set on fire. Within a year the car disappeared never to resurface again. Many Packard hunters believe the crushers got it but is there hope??
