Jim (39super8), as far as known the then winner John (JW) was unable to attend. Was 15 months enough time for the prize committee to come to a resolution?

I think we have just what you need, JW. A really swell Packard Info window decal that was produced in limited quantity.

JW, please reply to the thread letting me know you sent a PM with your address and I will send one out in the mail.

Good thing Gerd has the memory of a computer! Honestly, I cant remember 15 minutes ago, no less 15 months ago!

One of these?

39super8 and Gerd,

To be honest with you guys, I had forgotten all about the contest too. That PackardInfo window sticker is a GREAT prize.

Now I can be just like Mal.

I'll send you a PM with my mailing address.

Welcome to the PackardInfo puzzle corner, admission is free, any possible revenues will be used for the benefit of PackardInfo.com, the most comprehensive free online reference for Packard owners, supported and funded by user donations.

Riddle 4: What is the function of the special thing?
Behind the below shown mask is a Packard, photographed in Finland. The Packard is equipped with a technical retrofit. Tell us its function.
Be sure that I'll try to give you a hard fight to maximize the outcome for the benefit of this website. But I promise, that the thing we are looking for has a distinctive function. It is something special but you neither need knowledge of Finnish nor a graduation cap for identifying.


Rules (please read carefully)

A) Bid for one numbered square in ascending order, minimum bidding price and minimum increment is $1, auction closed 24 hours after the first bid.

B) Every square hides a part of the photograph and a surprise - sometimes pleasant (but seldom if ever). The auction winner has to pass a kind of PackardInfo special test.


C) The related square will be transparent if the contender comes through the test within 24 hours. Thereafter he, and only he, has the right to guess the solution (one attempt). But take care! If you make a mistake then the purchase money is lost and the next round starts.

D) You can drop-out any time you want.

E) Everybody's interposed yes-no questions accepted, $1 each.

F) The prize trophy is under preparation, give me a week or two.

Gerd,

I've always been a sucker when it comes to your puzzles, sooooo......I'll have a Yes/No question and BIN a please!

The Yes/No - Is the technical retrofit on the front half of the Packard?

Then the reveal - Drum roll please - Square One!
