Where do you find these things?!?!?
That setup would be a natural for the '41-50 Clippers and Clipper based Packards since the spare is already "in position". Great work!

Don, thank you for sharing the video.

Jim, do you know the photographs from Randy, taken in the Frick car museum in Point Breeze, Pittsburgh and showing the elegant Packard parking assistant in powder blue??

That would almost justify the "swim platform" off of the back of those 50s convertibles.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, would wonder why the Cadillac got a nice hidden in the trunk install but the Packard one was stuck in the open without even a continental cover. GM or the Wilson defense dept have anything to do with this?
