When I was younger I absolutely loved cars. "Car" was my first word according to my parents. I would name every car we passed by on the road. The only toys I ever wanted had wheels. Hotwheels and matchbox cars were my toy of choice. Here I am; now 18 years old, and that passion and love for things old and automotive related has only grown. The car that was going to be handed down to me; a 1990 mustang lx, was totaled by my father. I look at it now, and i'm glad that happened. It was that eye opening experience that led me to my 1952 200 deluxe touring sedan. It was bought with my hard earned money and is being restored with my own hands and paychecks. I think the future is bright for old cars; Packards especially. My friends had no idea what a Packard was, and instantly they were interested in it. Where did it come from? What does it look like? I haven't driven a foot in my first car, which is frustrating to say the least, but the beauty and craftsmanship of that automobile drives me forward to keep working at it so she can take me back to a simpler time.
