Drove a '51 200 DeLuxe

Thought I'd leave a note that I drove my first Packard in over 30 years. Never drove a non-V8. Can't say it "took me back" but for those who are into these cars, it's a '51 DeLuxe with three on the tree, overdrive and a 327. Quite straight looking overall. It is at a car dealer near where I work. It "starts, runs, drives" but to me it was quite truck-like. Nothing like the experience of a '55 or '56. But then, they were 30 years newer back when I drove them. Have a couple of pics, could get a few more if anyone is interested, PM me.
