Now if us younger guys could talk the older guys into leaving their cars to us in their wills, we'd all be better for it!


I thought that was the whole idea of this website, to try and convince them. lets post a forum topic, who will you leave you car to when you die ...

POINT NO. (1)
i cant die. would have no place to go. heaven wont take me (they wouldnt like a guy like me going after all the 'good' girls "up there"....

Hell wont let me in - devil does have some pride; wouldnt want a guy like me in there giving the place a bad name...

POINT NO. (2) - HISTORY IS BUNK. FORGET REAL HISTORY. IT IS ANNOYING - YOU YOUNG GUYS KNOW WHAT YOU WANT..MAKE UP A BETTER ONE.
So I think I will just stay here and watch our entire culture and country get richer and more international respect........how do I know this..?

Hmmm...for example, wanna see a great new idea for "success" for a failing car company...?

Take General Motors for example...now...I WONDER where they got their latest ideas....like...reduce their introduction of new products, de-emphasize performance compared to the competition.. after years of a declining reputation for sloppy build quality....?

Ah...that's it...combine with Chrysler...!

Nothing like "linking up" with another failing company that also has un-imaginative products with poor quality control, to improve your chances?

C'mon guys...give me a break - why would you accuse me of making fun of Packard's self destruction in the 1950's, or suggesting that General Motors is following the Packard "model" to failure...?

Be fair! I was thinking of Pierce Arrow combining with Studebaker in the early 1930's......

What....you say I am suggesting there is a pattern there ? Naw...forget about history. You young people know better-you dont want to hear it. Much more satisfying to MAKE UP a new history so we "feel better".

(now..where did I put that advertisement for that idea for a kit that one of you young guys is bound to come up with sooner or later.....what a great idea... to put Packard Ultramatic transmissions into '50s Hydramaitc and Torqeflight equipped cars to improve their reliability and performance..)

Peter:Studebaker and Pierce Arrow didn't combind in the early 30's. Studebaker owned Pierce Arrow from 1928 till 1933.

You do remember Pierce-Arrow that car company that built cars of luxuary quality that was Packard's equal in many peoples eyes.

now that's interesting - Turbo. wants me silenced because I noted some ways of "winning" ?

C'mon...Turbo - you honestly going to tell me you dont think it is a great idea for General Motors to get on board with Chrysler ? Do you have a historical precedent for poo-pooing this wonderful new brilliant idea ?

MikeC: When it comes to 55 & 56 Packard's you probably know more about them than Peter does. However saying that, when it comes to prewar Packard's that is entirely a different story.
