I (we) were young once too, sure wish I still had some of the energy that is now gone.

Dad's 23rd series Packard became mine in 1960, maybe in 61 traded it on a Triumph TR3 which lasted a short time, before it was traded for a cute girl and a 55 Packard 400. We later added a nice 55 Clipper before purchasing our first "new" car in 1964.

Long dry spell, our 48 was purchased in 2003 and the 40 in 2012. Time, energy, money, (lack of) they mostly collect dust, but I get to show them off and talk to guests that visit our tiny motel.
