That red 1941 160 Convertible Sedan looks just like the one my late friend Jack Behn owned. Wonder if it's the same car? Jack was from Trumbull, Connecticut. I knew him when we were both members of the Eastern Packard Club. Jack loved '41 Packards. He had quite a collection of them, including custom towncar by Rollston that had once been owned by the mayor of West Palm Beach, Florida, a 110 woody station wagon, a 120 Convertible Coupe, a 180 Formal Sedan and a 110 Coupe that was one of the best restored junior Packards I've ever seen. Oh, and that red 160 Convertible Sedan. It had a horn that played,"How Dry I Am". Jack was quite a character. He always brought a well stocked portable bar to the car shows. Jack passed away in 2009. He had sold most of his cars by then, including the 160. But every time I see a '41 at a show, I still think of old "Mr.'41". That's what we called him.
