Hello...

And another one.

Live long enough and you begin to realize this is all just one great big circle of cycles.

Every ten to fifteen years somebody, somewhere suddenly discovers "Packard" and goes bonkers. This is usually followed by an announcement that they ...THEY are going to resume manufacturing Packards! Yes. Regardless of no manufacturing facilities, no engineers, and no real money.

Of course this latest enterprise cannot possibly "own all patents, copyrights and trademarks" as stated. At least some of the trademarks are owned by the Packard Club. And what about the guy out west who makes the same claims and his holy mackerel (and that's what it looked like) "Packard V-12"?????

The latest of a long, long, long line of "revivals" which editor, Stuart Blond covered in The Packard Cormorant magazine years ago.

Coming any day– pretty darned soon. One thing about being old and having a working memory. One gets to see a lot of recirculating folly.

Please.

Happy Holidays to Everyone,
