When I was restoring my Packard Clipper I found several animal bones in the shelf behind the headlights. I suspect that at one time there was a weasel living in the car fender.
On another note, many years ago while on patrol as a game warden, I came across a small bear cub walking along a narrow bush road. Suspecting that the little fellow might be orphaned I stopped the vehicle and open the door of my truck to exit when the cub ran up to me and jumped inside the cab of the truck. Then out of the bush came mama bear and she was not too pleased that her baby was missing. I quickly hopped back inside my truck and stepped on the gas with mama bear in hot pursuit. I drove the the truck down the road about 1/2 mile with the cub was pressed up against the passenger side door bawling for mama. I then opened the passenger door and shooed the cub out the from where he was sitting on the floor. Mama was coming down the road as fast as she could run so I barely had time to get in the truck and make my get away. Not a Packard story but perhaps an amusing one none the less.
