That is the car!
You saw the car in it's natural surroundings. Archie had 22 Packards in various stages of repair and only one battery. Favorite saying; "you can only drive one at a time"
Many years ago we went to a National Packard meet in Oakland California and were supposed to caravan. Well I had to work and could not leave on the planned departure date.
When I finally arrived, the talk amoungst the attendees was about the black Packard that passed everyone on the highway at high rate of speed. That was Archie - he knew nothing under 80 mph. At that time the car had the original tires from the factory. As far as I know the car has the same tires.
I think that I know who has the 41 you mentioned - he posts on facebook.
Thanks for sharing this info.
If anyone knows where this car is, I'd sure like to know.
Thanks, Mack
