1999 Warren Ohio Packard Centennial. The first showing of our freshly restored 1947 taxi. While talking to a group of enthusiasts about the taxi I noticed a elderly gentleman getting as close to the car as possible while being very careful not to touch it to get a better look inside. I excused myself from the group and asked the gentleman what he thought about the car and he replied that he used to ride to work in one just like this. I opened the door and invited him to climb in and see if it felt right. I had to explain to him that it was my car and that it was ok and I would be honored to have him try it out. I joined the group again in conversation (a little bragging) and noticed the gentleman exiting the back seat and went to assist him. He got out and I asked him if it met his approval and without saying a word he looked up at me with tears flowing smiled and walked away.
