Nice find Giz. But thats to be expected. It is Washington DC. Packards were made for upscale purchasers. Packard just couldn't compete with Ford/Chevy/Dodge or the more middle class aimed independents such as Rambler/Studebaker/Nash. I am amazed as I scan the pictures of car lots and street scenes filled to full capacity and not seeing one Packard. Shouldn't there be atleast a 50's clipper somewhere in a parking lot? On the road? 1940's pictures are full of 110's and Clippers but was it scarce to see a 50's clipper or Senior car on the road? I am only in my 30's, so I have no idea. Anyone around in the 1950's give an opinion?
