My name is Kevin, and I'm about a week away from being 52. I was born the year after Packard left Detroit, but with any luck I may have been conceived before the last 1956 Patrician left the line!

Desi, I think I should know you, but for the life of me I can't place you. I was a college student at Michigan State when Motor City Packards was forming, and I think I was about a month off from being considered a charter member. I remember attending the early meetings at the Dearborn Youth Center. I've been a PAC Packard Club member for 37 years now.

My Packard was the first car I ever owned, and I still have it. In order of purchase:

1955 Packard Caribbean
1955 Packard Patrician
1970 Dodge Challenger conv - 383 four-barrel
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S conv - 383 Magnum
1956 Packard Patrician
1975 Chrysler Imperial sedan
1974 Corvette conv
1981 Buick Skylark Limited sedan
1985 Camaro Z28 IROC-Z
1979 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
1967 Cadillac Eldorado
1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special
1993 Cadillac Coupe de Ville
1999 Cadillac DeVille Concours
2002 Camaro conv - 3800 V6

I would love to add a Chevy Volt or a Cadillac Converj to that list someday!
