Thanks for your commentary and all I can say is "Ahmen." I was lucky enough to know Wendell Hawkins through my good friend Donald Taccone. I was honored to drive Wendell and Donald in my 1956 Patrician to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I have a photograph somewhere. This Packard dealer was a refined, erudite gentleman. And, indeed, he was typical of so many Packard dealers who had to have these qualities because their clientele expected it--just as they expected a Packard to be the ultimate expression of good taste and old money.
