Re: My own favorite Packard story...
I had driven all the way to Grass Valley to get chips from. . . that casino that had the jackass on the chips. Found that place long-gone (thought the building was still there) and was driving instead to the Towers Card Room which had just opened. And along the way I spotted the local Packard dealership! I checked my ride to make sure it wasn't Dr. Brown's De Lorean. Nope, but that town sure looked like it was stuck 30+years in the past. Here's a link to the Packard dealership there. They could have gotten your Packard running again, no problem!
