It's been restored and currently resides in the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History.

somename ◊ 2018-04-09 21:41	Looks closer to a Chevy to me:
skywatcher68 ◊ 2018-04-09 23:44	Just the car, same timestamp:
CougarTim ◊ 2018-04-10 00:04	I retract my prior ID. I think somename's got it right, based on the front fender and the number of windows. The Nuclear Museum has this picture on their Flickr ID'd as the Packard, but a commenter there has pointed out details more consistent with GM than with Packard: https://www.flickr.com/photos/atomicmuseum/2753767423
skywatcher68 ◊ 2018-04-10 02:26	Yeah, that had me confused as well.
