Many of these cars are abandoned restorations. People got in over their heads, lost interest, or had a change of life and could not follow through. There are cars with rechromed pieces wrapped in eighties newspapers in the trunk. There are also many cars that were fixed up according to the norms of the of the seventies or eighties and then used til they got all tired out again. And there are also just plain used cars.

In many ways the collection is a record of people's involvement in the old car hobby over the years. So don't be surprised at combinations of options and components. Folks have been collecting and messing with Packards for a very long time with widely varied results.

Oh, and Kev, I didn't bring any Caribs home. And you can't make me!
