Joe, perception is a funny thing! I saw that reference to Jean Luc Packard, and my brain immediately thought it was a play on the Jazz composer/violinist Jean Luc Ponty!! Then I see your post tonight and realize it's a Star Trek/Jean Luc Picard parallel and that even makes more sense. Not being a Trekkie AND being way into music sure left me on the wrong side of that one! LOL Different longsplices for different ships I suppose, eh??? Chris.

Well, I purchased my Packard in 1999. Wife nicknamed it Jean-Luc Packard around that time. It's never run. Hasn't moved more than 100 feet in all those years.

We enjoyed the Star Trek Series, but not enough to wear costumes and go to conventions.

I believe there is an episode where Captain Picard is in the holodeck and is pretending to be a 1930's detective and he mentions a Packard automobile.
