What is your claim??? That they drove 25000 mph for ONE hour and then took a lunch break for 239 hours or something????.
Pardon me, but I don't appreciate being quoted out of context. Of course I'm not claiming anything other than that I believe the reports of this run are probably factual. I asked if anyone had additional information on the outcome for the car, which you evidently do not. Your reiteration of the obvious difference between sustained speed and everyday driving is annoying, that's all, which was the intended message of my reply, which you probably know.
As far as a "PR stunt" is concerned, the run was publicized, does that necessarily make it somehow suspect? Aren't those tests also used for "PR?" This was a controlled test of a complete, operating automobile that traveled that distance in that amount of time.
Sorry, I haven't read the other comments, yet, but I doubt they concern some discovery of collusion between the Packard PR department and AAA to falsify the test run data.
Good night and good luck.
