In 1951, my Grandfather purchased a brand new Packard 300 Touring Sedan. I had heard about it from my Mom but I wasn`t around to see it (he sold it before I was born). I did some research on it and it looks like it was a pretty cool car. The thing was a beast! 3,900 pounds! Lets just say I would HATE to get T-boned by a car like this driving ANY modern day car!
Anyway, when my brother and I were cleaning out my Mom`s house after she passed, we not only found a few pics of the car but the original bill of sale, a hub cap and the hood ornament from the car. I remember seeing the hood ornament as a kid but I hadn`t seen it in years and to be honest I had totally forgotten about it. I framed the bill of sale as well as a photo of the car and mounted the hood ornament on the base of an old car trophy I had. The stuff is in my garage and every time I see them I think of my Grandfather. He was a WW 1 Vet and just an awesome dude. He helped me bait my fish hook and to this day I still remember that.
Anyway, I thought you guys might find this interesting.
