Just a follow up on this. I have a friend in New Mexico that knows I like Packards and so I recieved this note in my email this morning.

There was a front page feature article in Sunday's Albuquerque Journal that I thought you might find interesting. It's about a Packard limo that was rescued from a New Mexico junkyard and is being restored for the nuclear museum here-- it almost certainly hauled people like Oppenheimer and other Los Alamos scientists to Trinity Site for testing of the atomic bomb. The body was stretched and modifed for use by the military.

She is going to send me the article in the mail. But just thought I would past this along.
