For me, this is like asking what woman do you like best. It better be the one in the garage or there could be some unscheduled time on the lift.

I'm so biased because the Duchess is the only Packard I've ever owned, and I have no desire to own another. But I think I've been incredibly lucky because a 1940 160 convertible sedan retains much of the styling of Packard's heyday in the '30s, the overall lines, hood, world-famous waterfall grill, but also the practicality of hydraulic brakes, a superior 356 engine and other reliability and comfort features that make driving it long distances somewhat practical, certainly enough for me.
