I guess it's a 1957 Packard, don't know what model.

I'm afraid that's one of the last Packards (or in fact a Packardized Studebaker): 1957 Clipper Town Sedan [57LY8].

I agree, here are some awesome period expo photos from Michigan State U library:

http://mmm.lib.msu.edu/search/imagedisplay.cfm?i=EB01e639 (useful for trunk emblems)

Not a bad little car, especially if you like the look of the 56 Chrysler.

It is a 57 Packard and I know the guy who owns it.
