A little off topic I suppose, But soon after I purchased my first packard I took a road trip to detroit just to see the packard assembly plant, or the shambles of where it once thrived. On the trip it felt only fitting to see the edison instituit, I may be mistaken but I thought I saw a pic of a packard motor company exec or some big-wig that actually led an expedition in search of pancho villa shortly after a villa crew had destroyed a shipment or something that caused the motor company to lose money. I've spent about 20 min on google trying to find some proof and I came up empty. I did however see the pics of the same display from the museum under trucks in the packard photo archive. It was a 1916 packard camp truck with the packard exec and some military personnel standing around it. After looking at the pics in the photo archive I assume it was Henry B. Joy. If anyone else could put some credit to my story I'd sleep alot better. Thanks BOB
