It looks like an early to mid 50's Packard. Possibly a Patrician. I'll dig some of my grill books out from the salvage yard to track it down for sure.

Jeez, I'm getting old. Mine wasn't a Patrician, but I had a 1955 Packard Clipper with the same front end. I pulled the 320 V-8 and put the bigger 352 in it. What the car is, is a Caribbean convertible coupe. I only had my car for 2 weeks before I got offered way more than I had in it. I had forgotten all about it.

CrashMasters used to sell front end parts and I'm sure if I find one of my old books it would show it as the 55th series. Packard didn't really use model years. Mine didn't look anywhere near as nice. I bought mine in 1970 for $150 and was offered $800 once I dropped another engine into it.
