One of them is an unrestored Henney. I see a couple of typos. President Truman's limo was a 1950 Lincoln, not 1960. And can someone explain what a "Selective-Silent" automatic transmission" is?!?....  ...

Kevin, I did the same thing awhile back (right after you painted the car). Your patience and persistence has paid off!!

Look! It's about the Packard CAR, not the Packard Plant!

I hadn't looked at the website in years. It DOES look as if updated/fresh photos are on it now.
Wasn't the company up for auction on Ebay a few years ago?

I'm a generalist.
If it's Packard (or, for that matter, any OTHER make), I like it. I like 'em all from rusty, weed-encrusted hulk to high-zoot, megabuck restoration. They're all rolling history lessons of How Things Used To Be. And if I recall correctly, the late Roy Warshawsky (of JC Whitney fame) thought nothing of driving his restored classic cars ANYWHERE, any time. I'm sure there are others...

Craig,
I'm also happy to see the Panther project on the front burner. Like 55PackardGuy, your site was my introduction to Packard information on the internet.

Jim, according to the seller, those notations detail what's good on the car AND what's NOT good.
I'd have to go back and re-read the ad, but I think at least one other engine comes with the car...

I just wanted to let interested parties know the discussion was on the Hemmings blog. No more, no less.
