Songs with Packard in them

It struck me today while listening to the radio, has there ever been a song recorded with Packard in it? The song can either be specific about Packard or just mentioned in the lyrics. John Lee Hooker sang about his Terraplane.

I would be interested to see the responses.

Maybe someone has an idea? I can just hear Alan Jackson or Brooks and Dunn singing a song about driving the back roads in their (whatever year) Packard.

"Packard Goose" by Frank Zappa. (I guess Pelican or Cormorant wouldn't have been as punchy.) Also, "Tin Cup Chalice" by Jimmy Buffett.

Dare I say that I wrote one many years ago? It has been performed a couple of times at Packard Club National Meets. The title is "Drivin' In My Packard"...

How about a Packard jingle?

And I have heard Leeedy sing his song live, probably the only song I have heard about a Packard.

Your one of the lucky ones,LTR Decide.

I'd like to hear the song.

The jingle was interesting too.

Did check out the chords and lyrics for the Jimmy Buffet song. There is some confusion with the lyrics some have listed as Packard others have as "pack gear". But the song is about life on the islands and my guess is they are talking about a Packard marine engine on the shrimp boats.

Librettos for my song were passed out to those who attended the performances at the Packard Club National in Galena, IL and in Pontiac, MI. The only times performed in public. It was accompanied by guitar and violin and you can actually see photos of the performance in Packard Club Cormorant News Bulletins that covered those meets.

Perhaps there may yet be another performance at a Packard Club National meet sometime in the future! Thanks for your interest. And remember... "I'm just drivin' in my Packard...don't you wish you're coming with me?"...
