2. Incredible story, and what a classic machine.

I live near Warren where the National Packard Museum is located, and these cars are astounding, both in lines and in performance.

http://packardmuseum.org/

I worked for 30 years at Packard Electric, a direct descendant of the Packard Motor Company that later became Delphi Systems. It was based in Warren Ohio where they built these gems until the '30s. It's a great museum that was built by funds carved out of the 2003 transportation and highway bill by our wonderful democratic 17th district congressman Tim Ryan.

If you're in the neighborhood, stop by. I'll give you a personal tour since I haven't been there in nearly three months.
