I am totally lost by these comments that people would "love" or "hate" different types or eras of Packard products. These are CARS, guys - manufactured PRODUCTS !

They and the company that created them make interesting study. I have YET to drive ANY Packard of ANY year that I didn't like for what it was. The neat little Packard Clipper 6 we had as a "loaner" while the local Packard agency did the brakes on our Super Clipper was a delight to drive. "Hate" it because it was a "dog" compared to the breath-taking accelleration of that "356"...? Geez...guys. Should I "hate" my V-12 because a SJ Dusie can out-run it ? Or because it isnt as comfortable in summer than a '40 with factory air conditioning?

To "love" or "hate" any particular Packard car ....? Because it was different than any other Packard car?

What's with that ? Sounds to me like someone needs to get hold of some copies of PLAYBOY magazine, and see what IS really important.......!

I just dont "get it".
