Hope you don't mind this anecdote. In 1959 a frat brother had inherited his deceased father's identical car except it was coral? and ivory. He said that his dad had been a union official at Studebaker and he felt the stress had been very taxing. Three of us shared the same off-campus pad on W. Jackson in Muncie. I always had morning classes so I could go to work at 1:00PM. As I left one morning there was the Packard sitting in the middle of the street with cars going by on both sides of it with the morning traffic! The beverages must have been such that he made it home and retired for what was left of the night. I woke Dick up and told him that he might want to move his car before it was towed away. I don't suggest approval of DUI, but I smile when I recall it. The photo reminded me of the incident. He now lives in CA and has been a real asset to his profession.Last edited by Bob Bryant; 12-20-2010, 08:15 AM."Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional." author unknown -
Hey, Bob
Just a guess. Is your friend Dick a winetaster in Napa Valley?Comment

Thank goodness someone mentioned that! (And for $29,900 BIN, I would hope for a correct Group 60 battery, too, as well as the proper hold-down for it.)Originally posted by FlatheadGeo View Post
Truly a gorgeous car.
Battery group and hold-down notwithstanding, if it really is that nice, it is a bargain at $29,900. BP
