Several American automotive firms already hare built working models of sports cars to test public reaction. Those that hare been shown so far certainly should, appeal to the snorts car minded jmblic. Among the two latest have been Packard with. Its "Pan American" and Bnick with Its Both have an extreme racy look and both have been built on convertible chassis.
