Our grandchildren have been exposed to Packards since their birth. None of them had expressed any interest in them until this year. We have 5 grandchildren ages from 18 to 7 years. Our oldest granddaughter thought that the 37 Packard we used to own was neat because it had benches on the sides. We have always included our Packards in family outings, national meets, parades, picnics, and tours with them whenever possible. Our Packards that are driven regularly are 47 Clipper taxi cab, 48 Super 8 sedan, 49 convertible, and 49 limousine. We are working on a modified 50 sedan that I drove to our family Christmas party and much to my surprise our oldest and youngest grandsons were both excited and interested in the car. That is a first. The oldest stated that he wanted to go to prom now if he could drive it there.
