Happened to see this announcement about a new TV show to start this evening, August 16th.

"Sunday's series premiere focuses on the restoration of a 1953 Packard, a car that was "reserved for the elite of the elite." It includes a trip to the old Packard Automotive Plant to search for vintage parts, as well as a meeting with Allan Hill, the custodian of the plant for more than nine years."

Don't think they are going to find any spare parts sitting around the PMCC building on East Grand Boulevard. Have to wonder about these car-themed "reality" shows.

I'll make sure to miss it. A better name for the show might be "Cash into Smoke." Hopefully this collector car nonsense will crash and those maniacs will have to get jobs selling insurance or mortgages.

Nice little clipper until they Bagged it, and fake Chromed it. For a moment I thought they might chop the roof. Loved the hype of not being able to get parts, just shook my head.

The show down in Cuba is more interesting, saw a nice pink Patrician on there.
