Guscha -

Thanks for an enlightening and entertaining sidebar on the fringe of Packard history! I'd never heard/read of this Texas Trailblazer (and its Packard connection) before. It's another testament to the mighty Packard V8.

BTW, anyone else recognize the guy in the white hat in the second pic in post #18? (No connection to the time-travelling train robber shown above.)

Sad end to that monorail. Amazing that anything of it survived, but a shame it didn't wind up, intact, at a museum somewhere.

Yet, the "Trail" doesn't end there. I found that the manufacturer went on to develop other systems here in America - proof that it's a small world (after all).
