Hi all, yes,yes, very amazing and entertaining pictures. Sadly, most were of restored cars, unavoidable in most cases, ..however..many of the restorations have been embellished with options and colours (sorry,colors!) which they probably never left the Packard Production Plant with ( hate the word "factory" which implies a cage egg production concept). I have a number of reasonably original cars on the road and they do not compare with restored examples in terms of "bling". I loved every one of the pictures none the less. My favourite was the 37 Lalique of the kneeling nude.......I shall contemplate sending it to a few R-R friends espousing the main difference between the lightly clad "Spirit of Ecstacy" and the Lalique nude as a "with Packard - nothing is hidden" quip. Best regards and thanks for the pictures, Peter Toet
