Gotta love those original "High End" Packards. The Packard was the pinnacle of luxury, until the line was cheapened by consolidations with competitors from the low price market.
My maternal uncle spent his life working at Packard - Zio Joe, or, Uncle Joe. He convinced my father to buy a dark blue lower end Packard in the 50's, but, by then the low end line had been compromised by cheapening, much like many Lionel products in the 1960's.
Thanks for the AWESOME pic!!!
