For "Gear Head Tuesday" we re-blog Salena Zito's fine story about finding America at a back woods gas station. We tie Packard into it with the Henry Joy-Alvan Macauley support for the building of the Lincoln Highway. (Part of Zito's backwoods route was on the Lincoln Highway.)

"Owen_Dyneto" supplied us with more photos of Tito's Packard. Also, "Disaffected Musings" snapped shots of Packards at Hershey this past weekend.

<i>"The tires look to be solid rubber- is that right?</i>
Yes - that is correct. Dave reports that the "Armstrong" power steering is the cause of a new hemorrhoid every quarter turn of the steering wheel.

<i>"Wasn't the original owner Tito Puente? I don't think communists had new cars."</i>
FTA:https://56packardman.com/2019/05/14/gear-head-tuesday-josip-titos-packard/ Joe - Tito was one of many Communists that had (ahem) Capitalist taste in cars. Besides the Packard, which he kept, other cars in his "stable" included 3 Mercedes 600 Limousines. Tito's lavish lifestyle caused no small amount of turmoil and dissidents were quickly - and usually brutally - jailed.
