While I fully appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that there is no accounting for individual personal taste, but it is a challenge for me to appreciate magnificently styled and designed Pre-War Packards painted to look like a Mardi Gras float.

Evidently, there is an echelon of clients who prefer Packards with garish paint jobs. Or perhaps, clients buy them with the intention of repainting them.

I shutter to consider what a new paint job might cost.

You are so right.

I can't help feeling some of the color selection we see is from the 1970s to '80s 'Buy an old car, paint it attention-getting colors and sell at an obscene profit' myth.

The Packards I remember from 'the day' were conservatively painted and often black with black sidewall tires.

'Tastes change' and 'There is no accounting for taste'.
