J.I.M.P.

Paul Tacy, The guy that found and bought that 1929 Packard is the brother of Motor City Packards member, Peter Tacy.

And as the Hemmings article points out their family goes contains 4 generations of Packard owners/collectors. Peter and his wife, Merry Beth, had their 1927 336 Runabout on display at the PPG for the Open House last weekend.

Hi

What a great story! So glad that wonderful original is now in the caring hands of an intelligent conservator. It's miraculous it wasn't lost to vandals or ravaged by harsh weather all those decades. How great it will be for Packard enthusiasts to see a fine example of the original craftsmanship so normal from East Grand Boulevard.

And this find springs hope anew for all of us hoping to yet discover that gem of our dreams just waiting for us out there somewhere!
