Gator and present Company-- Gentlemen, no need to apologize for "hi-jacking" the post. It's all Packard, it's all good.

Love these photographs of the vast Packard plant in happier days. Many thanks for posting these.

We're survivors. The factory's fate, dim. While my only decision, for the moment, is whether a steel gray or aluminum paint'll look better on the tailpipe aft of the muffler on my '47 Super, the above pictures give us all something to reflect on.

Meanwhile, it's hard to believe the sprawling East Grand factory, at least the parts of it not too far gone, couldn't be restored to host various small businesses, shops, boutiques, spas, something, anything, perhaps with local Packard owners' cars on rotating display, as part of enduring United States history.

Crying shame.
