Amen Howard!
I'm only 44 so Packard had passed before I arrived but part of the appeal of these old girls for me is the nod to those "simpler times". Guess it's an age-old question as to just how capable the population is in using common sense and just when the government needs to step in to protect us from ourselves with rules & regulations. Like most things, it's all about the right balance. I do seem to stick my neck out more than most and have a fond memory of running a home delivery milk route one summer and coming down a neighborhood street to a bunch of kids begging for a ride in the truck. I ended up with a dog and 5 kids up front and another 3 swinging their legs as they sat on the back bumper. I ran up & down the block at 5 mph, no one died, and I hope some of those kids still enjoy that memory from time-to-time as much as I do. That photo does appeal to the adventurer in me and I appreciate a good dose of that stern stuff that seems to be a little lost in this day & age. PS: I've managed 2 smooth round trips in my Packard to Fresno from the Bay Area and will be sure to look you up on the next one.
