Good, solid TX builder. '56 Clipper.
Note the Avanti in one picture.

A man, a plan, a car, Panama. I saw part of a Studebaker, probably a '53ish coupe, but no Avanti.

(o{}o)

Is that perhaps the Avanti peeking around the tree beside the Packard?

A 63 Studebaker Avanti can be clearly seen in the background of the third pic.

Yeah that's a much better view of the same car I mentioned earlier. Also a GT Hawk, 2 2dr 48-52, and what looks like
a Loewy coupe. Quite an interesting little grove.

A somber warning: in the corner of the rear window is the remains of a PAC sticker. No too long ago this was someone's baby, someone who had the car painted, replaced the front bumper, and even took the trouble to find a period license plate. And now it is just a lost car in a junkyard with no title.

I am not certain what lessons to draw from this, but am sure of this: go and enjoy the living daylights out of your collector cars now. Run up the mileage and drive them as hard or as easy as you personally like. I think we are largely fooling ourselves when we murmur about being a caretaker in preparation for the next caretaker. For most of these cars, there is no one coming.

Both of those last two ebay links (the Clippers) have been on Ebay for well over a year. They were there when I started looking for a Packard in Dec 2012.

nice 1950 for reasonable money

Boy that 50 looks nice. Do you think that's the right interior material? I/m not that up to speed on the interior materials

Maybe it's just me but I've never thought all white looks very good on these Packards
