Hi Steve!

Thank you very kindly for the kind conciliatory words. I appreciate it.

I would often get beat-up-on for making mistakes like I just did by not realizing the Packard in the eBay ad was a '39, not a '38. Hey, I'm not an expert nor do I know all the razor-thin nuances of the variant Parkard models, styles, years, etc. I often wished some forum members would have cut me a bit of slack when I'd goof-up or ask a question about something deemed "obvious."

Additionally, I'll NEVER be in a position to own a Packard because (a) I know nothing of auto-mechanics and would never be able to work on or trouble-shoot the inevitable mechanical problems that go with owning a classic car; and (b) I'll never have the financial resources. Hey, I'm a middle school special education teacher which should tell anyone my financial status.

I will only be able to enjoy Packards from afar. I do have the opportunity years ago to ride for about 15 minutes in a 1938 Packard 120 sedan.

Thanks again for being such a gentleman. I appreciate it.
