Noticed the same thing when I did my clean up review of the Packard Owner's Registry last year. But because of my inexperience let this go and concentrated on cleaning up things like duplicate or blank entries and only obvious errors, even to my untrained eyes, of the Year, Series or Model Number. With the new drop down list feature for these fields, it is only the older entries which allowed free text which could now require update. I urge all members to review their entries to gain consistency across these fields.
Pity you changed the last paragraph. I was preparing a reply to it, along the lines of "
did he say", when it disappeared into cyberspace and on returning to the post found you had simplified the language used. As I said, Pity!

.......all this good info might lend itself to some interesting statistical analysis of the surviving vehicle demographic.
