“Ask the man who owns one....” - a photo on Flickriver

“Ask the man who owns one....”

            My husband spotted this old timer as we drove through Buffalo, Missouri, and shouted out, “There’s an old Packard!”  He knew I’d be interested because I actually used to have to drive one.  My parents inherited one from a great uncle, a ‘51, and decided it would be a perfect second car for 2 teenagers to drive to school.  I was the hit of all the drive in restaurants as I cruised through in the Gray Grub!  Years later, on a visit home, I hopped into the relic, intending to drive a few blocks to a shopping center. Imagine my surprise when after backing down the driveway, I was totally unable to turn it...no power steering that I was now used to!  My dad had to come out and drive it back into the garage....
