Wes, I am absolutely 'with' you on this, just saying that not everyone agrees with US, and that that's okay. I wouldn't do that to ANY car, never mind a complete Packard, and especially one with that provenance. In applying for collector plates for my car, I had to take extensive pictures of interior/exterior, front, back, sides, etc. The young girl at the insurance office looked at the photo of my dash and said: 'I couldn't drive that car, it doesn't have a touch screen'. There was an older guy, also waiting for plates, that knew my car, and he looked at her and said: 'Girl, if you saw that car in person, up close and personal, it would make you weak in the knees', to which she didn't have much response or reaction, but I sure had a good chuckle over it! I have tried to keep my car as original as reasonably possible and even at that, have had to make a couple of concessions along the way in the name of economy and practicality. It becomes a matter of degrees sometimes and what I might be able to live with, a fellow purist might consider heresy. To each, his own, I guess.... Chris.
