Our dear father introduced us to the world of Packardom when he bought a 53 Patrician in 1955. That set us on the road so to speak. He had been in the wine and spirits business all his life and at 75 being bored with retirement he came to work with us, learning this end of the Packard business.

He worked with us every day until age 92 and passed away of "high mileage" a few months later. After 3 weeks of orientation he has been sending monthly orders for Packard accessories to us. You see, nothing wears out up there, he orders double sided whitewalls, radios, stone guards, trunks, Pilot Rays etc, only for Packards.

If you owned a Packard down here, up there they issue you a V12 open car as it never rains. If you drove another brand....you walk. Take heed.

What a fine tribute to your father - and to Packard, Fred!
