Ohio tags on the Packard? Nice looking car. Never saw one this nice during the War though.

The colors look like tomato soap. Neat car. I wonder if they would notice it was gone if I drove it home?

Very few of these Custom Super Eight 180s were built. Packard President George Christopher was hell-bent on taking the company downmarket. Thanks to Christopher, Packard handed the luxury car business to Cadillac on a silver platter. Christopher saved Packard in the worst of the Depression by bringing out the moderately-priced '120,' but by all but abandoning the luxury market, he set forces in motion that brought about the death of The Packard Motor Car Company.
