Pontiac is made by GM - no relation to Packard.

One Packardinfo member inquired where I got my build sheet. I thought I would post info here. I contacted the Studebaker museum in South Bend Indianahttps://studebakermuseum.org/
They charged me $40.00 which I thought was reasonable.
A dealer had purchased this car for himself and although he had died I was able to contact his son who had the same name. I got a little background from him via letters.
$40.00 well spent.

The door panels are also stamped Mitchell-Bentley on the inside. I'll take a pic when I get a chance.

Here is a copy (Stude museum) of the original Build sheet for my 56 Patrician. The only thing the dealer (who bought it for himself) didn't like were the seat belts. I'm not sure if this is the car that Leeedy talked about because the dealer bought it for himself. I talked with his son and he said his parents loved the car. Note the odd rear-end ratio.
AND WIRE WHEELS!

To let that property fall into such disrepair should be a crime.

I attended and kept my sticker on the windshield.
The Pennsylvania inspection sticker is from 1968. I had a cop tell me he was going to remove it. I told him what I was going to remove. He left.

I thought about hiding my 12volt battery and building a rack to hold at least 12 "D" cells and see how many I could get to believe it.

Yep! 49-50 shoebox Fords had a poor copy of the Egyptian. We had a 1950 Ford new. From 49 they changed the hood Orn, door handles, trunk handle, hood(F-O-R-D, 49),(hood emblem 50).
And I can't remember something I did yesterday??
