Is it just me, or does this 1956 Packard Predictor Concept car with "T-tops" (they called them retractable roof panels that operated to make it easier to enter/exit).
Looks like at one time, Packard had an autoshown mule was running around.
Recall about this time handwriting was on the wall for Packard. Maybe they were serious about trying something rad?
Apparently so. Sad tho. They didnt have the cabbage to tool it up. Packard was truly a great company at one time.
1956 MY was the last true Packard (they merged with Studebaker om 1954, by then another "dead man walking" - combine two failing companies into what was then fourth largest but still failing US car company
).

Once again the internet isn't right. This one has multiple references to Daytona Beach, I could find no vintage images that were even close.
With a little searching I located it in Jacksonville Beach Florida, the first image I found was this one showing the two Ferris wheels and the Bath House (building with three windows)
Better view of the Bath house
A view of the pier showing the a-frame trusses and banners.
This pier was destroyed in 1964 by hurricane Dora

Main drag, like I said, I had a gut feeling on this one, I have only been through here a few times.
I dropped Pegman in the block, almost nailed it.

It seems those palm trees have grown a bit.
