Wow, I'm thinking my uncle had one of these when I was a kid. That hood ornament and style is very familiar-looking.

Wow...what a beautiful car...I love it when I see cars like these on the road...and when they've been restored or kept up like this one? Even better. I love your perspective here, Ralph! Really nicely done....hey, I also meant to say congrats on the spotlight...don't know if I did or not. I believe it was your "heroes" image. Nice job!:D

Packards were the cream of the crop. And this is what came out of that ruined hulk on East Grand Boulevard.
