Most of the younger guys are not afraid to work on them as long as they can get the information and support to do so. Remember young guys getting into the hobby are going to have young children who will grow up with them and hopefully start a new generation of Packard enthusiasts who have fond memories of driving around in dads old car.

I believe there was a generation gap that has happened in that lineage in the recent past. Hopefully the web is the chance to connect people interested in these cars that may other wise quickly become disinterested because of the lack of local information or support, and as such moved on to the ubiquitous Chevy, Ford or Import, and never to look back.

In all the different venues that I have shown my 56 Packard Executive, I have noted a distinctive interest by young people, mostly those in their teens. It's almost a hunger for mechanical knowledge. I would hope that I am offering an alternative to the on-line gaming and other fruitless electronic endeavors. I plan on continuing to show and explain the wonders of my Packard to as many who will listen.
