My thanks to BH and Roger for the answers to my Packard Proving Grounds questions.

It is too bad that the track couldn't be saved. It would have been great fun to take our cars for a spin on that. But seeing the way the area has been built up thanks to the Google Images, BH is right: It a miracle that it possible to save as much as was.

Is this the same Margaret Dunning that is still driving her 1930 Packard AND doing most/all of the maintenance herself? I watched the video some time ago and marveled at her putting a cloth down on the running board before she stepped on it and another cloth on the seat. Not to mention her herding that huge Packard around on the roads!
