Re: What's the Weirdest Experience You've Ever Had with a V8 Packard?

Not sure if this counts as weird as much as obnoxious, but once while driving my '55 Clipper Panama 2 door hardtop (black over yellow 2 tone) I passed a slow poke in a Rolls on a sweeping 2 lane feeder ramp onto the approach to the San Fran Bay bridge...the obnoxious part is that I did it at close to 60mph while on the inside lane... glanced over at the driver of the Rolls (who looked like he just wet himself) and not only did I smile at him but took a hand off the wheel to wave!

I used to terrorize the young'uns who to this day probably still can't understand how they were beat by such an ancient jalopy. Packard V8 power and TL suspension baybee!
