Ozstatman..yes it would be in my 37 115c bus coupe
JW go for it buddy..many of us live with dreams but never follow thru..Texas to Washington in a Packard..sounds great
Mi Dan..went to website indicated...Wow..

Well, I finally got the courage to drop the bomb on Mama Dee
She was sitting reading one of those 'chick books' by Nora Roberts..Said ..Honey?? I wanna take a round the world trip in the Packard.. She said okay...when?? I said "2011 and gave her a rough itinerary." Michigan to Miami..steamer to Rio, Rio to Buenos Aires, steamer to Oz.

She said...Well....if you come back with a cig dangling out of your mouth and the smell of scotch you might as well stay with one of your buddies along with your 'bush hat'
(hmmm I guess i had better learn the in's and out's of Rugby and Cricket then..lolo)

so then I contacted an exchange student we had in our home back in 1978, a Marcio Relvas of Rio. He was a young 17 y/o when at our home here in Petersburg, he went on to become an airline captain with Varig after which went to form a brokerage firm in Rio.

I contacted him this week, he was so excited I then told him of my intentions. I also told him there was a Packard Club located in one of the burbs of Rio. there was a pause.and he said that is a very unsafe part of town. You will stay with us. He said hopefully you can come in time for Carnival. My wife and i along with my parents will take you to one of the Samba Clubs(like american country clubs) or Football Clubs(soccer)

. We will show you how to 'samba'... At Carnival the women are beautiful..the men are beautiful and Papa Sandy..the Samba is a very very very sensual Brazillian dance.(yeah i bet it is..better take my BP pills along..at 62 I wouldnt be able to take the stess...Move over Gov. Mark Sanford and Ricky Martin)

He went on to say, I know nothing about vintage cars since Im into hand gliding and scuba diving. Depending on how long you stay, we will make sure that your journey is a safe one and we will make sure you stay with our friends and family along your route to Buenos Aires. Do you know how to ride a horse?? We have close business aquaintances in Argentina..and you can bcome a "gaucho" lolol(portuguese for 'cowboy'
