Just ordered my copy of the book(s). As a dedicated and life-long automotive historian, I really appreciate books like these and I acknowledge the tremendous amount of work that goes into producing them. I think the best way to encourage authors to continue to produce works like these is to buy them. I certainly wouldn't consider myself a Packard expert by any means - Corvettes are more my thing - but I'm familiar enough with the story to be very interested in hearing about the 1955-1957 cars. For a brief period, the entire archives of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation was housed in a Syracuse University warehouse that I had access to, and it delivered many, many hours of enjoyable research before the university sent it on to the museum in South Bend . . . At least that's what they said they did with it. Looking forward to receiving the book - and yes, I recognized the title as a Packard advertising slogan of the time, and I consider it entirely appropriate. Just my opinion.
