Dan; No doubt about that,he is the King !!! The museum is in Warren Ohio,home of the Packard brothers.The factory started there in the late 1800's and in 1903 went to Detroit for increased production,the old factory was later Packard lamp,at some point I think around 1923 the original factory was torn down when it was taken over by my friends at General Electric, and made light bulbs there which has since closed in 2013 when it was moved China.The limo picture was owned by the Packard sister and was used for trips to the summer home on Chautauqua lake NY. The family always lived in Warren Ohio. The museum also had A display of Ernie Hall, an early aviator that created flying boats and had an instruction school in Conneaut lake Pa. I am kind of in the middle of all this, lots of history. Good time they had an antique British motorcycle display as well, about 30 bikes, and showing them till the end of May. No fins, no Mopars, just tons of history. Mark

As far as I'm concerned the 59 King is Tom Fox but thanks for the compliment anyway. From now on I'm changing my name from Big Dick to Big King Dick, l wish. There is another Packard museum in Ft. Lauderdale a private collection l think. Never been there but I keep threatening to go.
