Packard Proving Grounds - New Donation
Posted by RogerDetroit On 2017/6/3 21:12:27
Wanted to announce the latest donation of a 1956 Executive to the Packard Proving Grounds.
It is a GIFT by William Albertin of St. Louis, MO and a member of PAC region Mississippi Valley Packards. We just received it a week or so ago and it is in excellent condition. Painted in Holland Blue with Dover White trim.
Being the last model introduced by Packard in April of 1956, it would have been among the last cars to roll out of the Conner Avenue plant.
I have added it to the Owner's Registry. I don't have all the details on the car, but I will add that later.
Attached is a photo the car and a photo of William in the center and PMCF Trustee, Neal Porter, on the left and PMCF Trustee, Bruce Blevins, accepting the keys to the car.
We are very grateful for the generosity shown by Mr. Albertin. His car will help explain the final days of Packard in Detroit.
