tbirdman Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 You may want to go back a look again. I've added some from PI meet in 2006. We also have a lot of different pictures. One of the club members who's a (Oh well, my momma say if you can't say anything nice) was upset because I got a ovation at the meeting for the new web site and he was not recognized for photos we used of his. Even when we said we would correct the oversight with a credit to him on the website, he took his toys and went home. Oh well. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> So I removed his photos but other members got together and we got new photos on the site.The funny thing is he told some people he was going to join the CCCA. Know I know owning a "Classic" is not a CCCA requirement, but I know he's going to raise a stink when he finds his 36 120 Sedan is not recognized as a classic by the CCCA. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard enthus. Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 hey...watch that...! I was BORN in a 1936 Packard "120" sedan. Damn good car ! The recognition by the auto buying public that the "120" series Packards were a TREMENDOUS value in their price class, is why there was a Packard Motor Car Company for years afterwards !Those photos are marvelous ! I wouldnt spend too much time worried about people who make a big fuss over personality issues. We arent going to be on this planet long enough to have all the fun that can be had.I say..let's have our fun NOW, and worry about the personality issues when we are drooling all over ourselves in some rest home...!

I agree the 120 was a great value and had features such as IFS that didn't show up on the Senior Packards until 1937. The interesting fact I read was that in one year, Packard used 2500 employees to build 50000 juniors and 2500 emplyees to build 10000 Seniors. The numbers are probably not that accurate as I'm going from memory, but the substantial difference in the number of emploees to make each car is.This same person was upset when he overhead a conversation that his car being a sedan was typically worth less than a convertible of the same model. I'm not going to worry about the member leaving.In the car section for members, I hope to put multiple pictures of each car, so Packard people can look at these cars to see restored examples. I figure that helps people who are doing their restorations. I'm on the contant lookout for 32 pictures so I can try to make my 32 an accurate restoration as possible. I've been unable to see a 32 in person yet except for the Dietrich coupe roadster at Nethercutt. It's amazing the amount of disk space for these web sites are providing for fairly inexpensive (<$100). I get 250 GB of storage which means a lot of pictures. My first car web site I put together a few years back was limited to 20 MB. We kept hitting the storage limit and having to remove pictures. Currently I'm less than a GB and I'm runnning three web sites off of the same hosting package.Any suggestions to make the Packard web site better would be appreciated.
