And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My grandparents had a '52 Packard. They owned a funeral home and used the car to transport families to services at the cemetery. They got rid of it about 10 years later. It only had about 35,000 miles, but had been reupholstered three times.
just thinking today, a man in my town, my high school days, had a field with rather a hedgerow along the road. in the field were 6-7 50's Packards. another fellow about an hour south had a woods and fields hiding a cache of vintage aircraft, the location revealed well into my middleage. search vintage aircraft newbury ohio.
Cold War Motors on YT did a straight eight challenge a couple years ago with a Buick and a Packard. It was great fun.

ReplyDeleteThis is the EXACT model Packard that I learned to drive in.
ReplyDeleteI learned to drive in a Crosley. Later we moved up to a '50 Studebaker.
