Information about the picture I posted with Harry Truman riding in 1948 while President of the United States and running for re-election.
The following is from the book Packard by Dennis Adler on page 130. With the new convertible model launched during an election year, Packard benefited from some free publicity when both President Harry Truman and Republican challenger Thomas Dewy chose Packard Custom Eights for their presidential campaign cars.

Armored Twelve. Its passenger is Joachim von Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister of Germany from 1938 until 1945 and hanged as one of the major war criminals.
According to German law I obliterated the swastika flag and explicitly distance myself from any political intension, connected with the photograph. The picture source is an old newsreel. Attach file:  (37.33 KB)

Hmmmmm. Does that mean that there is German law that says no one in Germany can discuss or reference anything that has to do with WWII or the 3rd Reich????? I was unaware of that. Or what are the restrictions of discussion???

Or what are the restrictions of discussion??? No restrictions of discussion, Germany is a free country and it is a pleasure to live in. According to German law it is disallowed to use the old state emblems, insignia and the like. That's it. Quote: What year is the Packard in the picture????? About what year was the picture taken???? The picture was taken in August 1939. The car should be a 1937 that rolls on oversized wheels. Take a look to its open window, it resembles a breakthrough in a wall made of glass bricks rather than a car window. Attach file: (26.05 KB)
