What do you think of this “original “ Packard?

[Angelfish]

Don’t see this kind of thing locally very often.

Was discussed recently in the Not Mine cars for sale section.

It's as original as it is correct.

You could get a nice Ford Flathead for that money, and change.

When I see that much paint slopped on the striker plates, it makes me want to run away!

A lot of people think "original" only means "like original" as in it doesn't have a 350 crate motor in it. Real original versus restored actually like original, as opposed to "it isn't a hotrod" is way beyond their comprehension level!

Most people quite frankly are not very smart. We in this hobby tend to associate with people really interested in learning and understanding, not just our cars, but the history that surrounded them! Most of our friends and associates also study things like philosophy and physics, and ancient history. We actually care about cultures other than our own, and not just for the political backings we think we can get from claiming to care!

MOST people do have the capacity to become smart, IF they are taught to become smart. But this country stopped teaching most people to become smart a few decades back. We are just beginning to reap those "rewards" now.

 

My apologies. I began to drift again.

 

I wouldn't mind having that Packard, if the price was right (and if I had the money to spare?). I would drive the bigeebies out of it! I would probably carry lumber lying across the seats home from the hardware store!

Yes, we discussed this one a couple of weeks ago.  There is nothing  correct in that listing.

My first thought when I saw the color was:   Must be a Lemon!

This car should be Packard Cream but this color looks to be on the bright side.
