Dave and Keith, One of the better questions of the year. What is an option and when does an option become an accessory...


I always thought an option was offered inside a bundle when buying a Packard.


Excellent point but I'll throw something extra in. In the case of 55-6 AC, Packard had a kit for dealers identical to the unit that would have been installed at the factory. They made it for dealers to install if a customer wanted factory AC on an already delivered car. Is that an accessory because it wasn't bought and installed at the factory or an option?

I can almost hear the conversation: You want factory AC Mr Smith? I can do that but do you want one in the front seat like the factory does it today or I can sell you one in the trunk that is almost like the one they used last year and might cost a little less money. And with that another "factory" trunk unit is installed.

I would bet that happened with Trippe lights and any number of other options as well.
