Too beautiful for words. Packards were great.

This was one of the cars in which I learned to drive.

Its successor for us was a '54 Cadillac convertible.

No, it wasn't as quick as the V8 Cadillac but it was more pleasant to drive otherwise. If I could have either one of them back now, it would definitely be the Packard despite the service issues my family had with it.
