Looks great, Kevin. While I was still commuting to work, I chose to drive the Packard every Friday. Of course I drove it weekend, too, and to Packard meetings. This was good for the car.

I also dressed up on Fridays instead of dressing down down like everyone else. (It's a principle of advertising, if you advertise when everyone else is cutting back and the noise level is low, you get a lot more impact for your ad dollar.) Over a few years, it got to be a 'thing.' People remembered me as the guy in a bow-tie who drove an old car, like I drove it every day.

And now in semi-retirement, I do drive it every day, except if it's laid up like today because the brake shoes in front are too thin for safe driving. My new systems come today, hopefully.

But it's great to see your baby looking so good.
