Re: Was a Packard V-12 protoype ever actually built?

A seller recently offered some Ultramatic tools for auction on eBay, ending each item description with the following line:
"Not for use on the 1965 Packard V12."
I hope that comment, which should be taken as tongue-in-cheek, isn't causing any confusion. There was no such car - just a bogus article that was rushed into publication without sufficient fact-checking some years ago.
Suffice it to say that article was the source of a lot of controvery and the butt of many jokes. I even photoshopped a Patrician Twelve, back then - not only for a laugh, but to show how easy it was to phake a photo at by that time.
