Thanks, Owen. I didn't think it was. It looked too small and too "cheap".

I just came across this old photo of my father. Is his car a Packard? I am not good with years of vintage cars.

In the photo of the two men, my father, Carl Anderson, is the man on the right.

Bob,

My father died in 1961 at the age of 54.

He was in WW2 and settled back in Evanston when he was discharged in 1945. I believe he went to work for
the Packard dealership at that time. He received his Master Mechanic Certificate in 1950. He moved our family to Wisconsin
in 1951, so I believe he worked for Packard from 1945-1950.

A little amusing story. When he moved us to Wisconsin, it was to a very small town of about 350 people and it was in
a farming area. We came to town in a big Packard. My dad always told us the story that he took so much grief about
driving such a fancy car in our little town that he sold it and bought a Chevy or Ford.

I believe my father developed his love for Packards when he emigrated to the United States from Sweden. He got
a job in Chicago as a chauffeur, and he said the people he drove for had Packards.

I am looking for any information regarding the Packard Dealership at 1735 E Railroad Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. My father was a Master Mechanic there for a number of years after WW2. I would appreciate any information anyone could give me.
