There are certainly degrees of purists out there, from the dyed-in-the-wool guys who insist on TOTAL originality, to those less rigid, who still want to keep cars as close to factory as is reasonable and feasible. I fall closer to the latter end of the scale but it sure does sadden me to see a car 'murdered' and resto-modded with a modern drive train and clip. I do GET the financial logistics of the cost and the subsequent end-worth, but it's still a shame to see these great timepieces disappear as the years roll on. As John says: 'it is what it is'. Hats off to any and all in our hobby who take the time and spend the money to preserve and caretake original cars, of any make, but especially Packards. Chris.
