We haven't had a "What is it?" quiz in a while. No GM pickup, but this was parked near me at the show and shine last Saturday night. It is stock. That is a McCulloch Supercharger, a Delco-Remy generator and a Saginaw power steering pump as used on mid 50's Buick, Caddy, Olds and Pontiac cars. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pictures. I really need to remember to take a real camera to the show. What year and make is it?
You are correct. A four door '57 Packard Clipper Town Sedan with a borrowed from corporate Studebaker 289" V8 rated at 275 horsepower with the blower.
Supercharged Rambler Wagon About 5 years ago I met a guy at a show who had a really original, really nice, immaculately kept, Rambler wagon that he had installed the entire factory correct supercharger pieces on. Ever since then I have been a fan of orphan cars. Thanks for the thread Bill.
