...And my personal
Caribbean Roster has more. And I have actively been collecting data and info on these cars since at least the 1960s and rode in the very first 1956 Caribbean (a hand-built prototype driven by a Packard engineer) when new in 1955.
Of course ridiculous nonsense is expected to come out of asking AI. BUT... don't blame absurd statements of Packard "facts" and "history" solely on AI or whether the person making the enquiry is young OR old. Or being unfamiliar with the scope and operation of AI. Posing any question to infant AI as it is today is a crapshoot at best. However...
Try asking the be-all-know-all almighty "wikipedia" about Earle C. Anthony's Packard neon sign... or the one-off Packard Request, for examples. Last time I looked good 'ol wiki was blurting BS about how "several Packard Requests were left sitting on showroom floors, unsellable". Silly hallucination stuff worded as fact. And one can compare good 'ol wiki's oleo nonsense on Earle C. Anthony's Packard neon "history" to the factual story published in
The Packard Cormorant magazine. Look it up. Few people do since few know the
TPC story was ever published. Few are aware of the expertise in
TPC magazine. And of course to go that far means one might actually have to do some real work and dig (OFF of the internet– the old way)... or (clutch the pearls!) actually buy the magazine! Heaven forbid!
On wiki... ANYBODY can make up and say anything at all... and get it passed off as fact. And if one goes to the trouble of getting to be a "wiki editor" and goes in and makes factual corrections, some moron can simply get themself also installed as a "wiki editor" and then change the correction BACK to the BS!!!!! Ask me how I know on this.
Whether AI or wik-I... the issue remains. From someone who ran computers back in the days of the great IBM "360" there was a saying we used back then that is still valid today with both wiki and AI: "Garbage in– garbage out."
