Maybe Im to young to take word in this topic and I hope no one will feel insulted after what I have said.But what I see is the dumping down of education, so certain people could exploit later other people. Hard words,but it applies on both sides of the Atlantic ocean. We have lowered education,so it has come to a point of getting a zero value and getting more of being about grades and paper work,then educating the next generation. I have noticed these disturbing matters for year, but as usual, no one gives a damn about it.

What comes to cars, then its hard to make a bolt and screw restores like our fellow man Hank dose in this forum. This is something that has to come from deep within and from the deep interest in the machine(s). What I see is people that want a old car but newer bother to get interested in how it really works or in the past of the vehicle(rarely know where there cars where made).This is the majority of people who have old cars but never have much deep interest in it.
But nothing is hopeless,so I see also a lot of people from my generation that know vehicles bolt by screw and dig deep into the past.
So how dose all this concern of getting a new generation to work with Packards or any other old car? I think unless there is or is not grown a deep interest in these vehicles,
they will be used or seen as daily drivers and traded like once.
