The buyer always has two turns. That means after getting an answer / photograph / puzzle piece / hint the buyer has 24 hours time to guess the name, to buy again or to relinquish.
The first violation of this right of way costs $5, the second violation costs twice as much as before etc.

Ok, to act as a stimulus I will show you a small part of the collection of the man we're looking for. He stringed together his cars in long lines, which was perhaps to keep track of the first of the rows of tens. The attached picture shows a Packard Twelfe on the right-hand side but he wasn't a Packard collector, not even a car collector in the proper meaning of the word. The cars more probably have been an accumulated surplus.

Who will be --> the first taker?

John, I'm afraid not!. Josef Stalin is an incorrect answer.




first misnomer (one dime)


--> Thank you for the first dime for the benefit of PackardInfo.com. According to the rules it is up to you to guess the name again, to buy a photograph, a puzzle piece, a hint, to ask a question (the answer will be yes or no) or to relinquish. It's your turn.

Friends, cutting in line isn't fair but would bring a return of $5 for the benefit of PackardInfo.com.

Pushy drivers welcome!

So. I'll take a hint


John Harley

John, that was a close shave, but within the term.

First hint (one dime)

To fuel the flames and last but not least to reward your courage even the first hint will be hot. It is a tactical tip and related to the above shown puzzle.
The puzzle covers not less than the identification card of the wanted man. That means it conceals his clear readable name and his unchanged passport photograph. If one of you could hit THE piece of puzzle he would win by one turn. But as you know, could, would, should, ...

Gerd,

I'm game to give it a go, and probably lighten my wallet in the process.

Is it..............Bill Harrah?
