Packard Forum Index » General

i was at a bike event in tennessee, the owner of the motel parked these beauties years ago, they ran when he parked them, maybe you could talk to him to sell.

1. How do you expect us to contact him when you don’t post a number or name?
2. These are probably prized possessions and he likes them exactly where they are and would only sell them for way more then they are worth.


Just my takeaway.

Actually I'm not hard to find, usually visiting the forum each morning while enjoying my coffee.

Dad purchased the 23rd series in my avatar when I was six or seven. I had it in high school but traded it to the former Packard dealer on a TR3, didn't have that too long till the right girl came along and the TR3 was swapped for a rough 1955 400, followed by a real nice 55 Clipper purchased from the secretary at the former Packard dealer, that lasted until our first "new" car in 1964. Still miss the Packards, but still have the same girl.

Got the 22nd series in 2003, enjoyed a few local car activities at that time, problem was it was difficult to say "here honey, you clean the rooms and work while I go play", like the cars, like her better.

Got the 40 coupe around 2012, my girl liked that one, enjoyed some local trips on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but most Packard events take place when it is difficult to close up the motel and go play.

In the end I suppose the best use has been that our guests (www.hiddenvalleymotel.com) enjoy looking at the cars and I enjoy the conversations.
