I listen to Detroit radio, I guess it' s become a bit of a joke that Packard plant has been sold so many times , but nobody comes up with any money. ---Trevor

I read a post on this site many years ago, of a young woman realizing the damage her and her generation had cause her father's beloved Ford plant, by exercising her rights to buy German (BMW) automobile and to forgo the company that had put food on her table and sent her to school to the fruit of her father's labor. Wonder if anyone remembered this well written apology. Claude Ruel

Remember driving a neighbor's 54 Packard back in 1966, I was amazed how plush it was. Even with all the muscle cars around I recall my own amazement upon looking at that straight eight and hulking body lines.

Thanks for posting...

The latest news is that the 40 acre Packard complex was sold to a developer from Peru, he has until December 18 to finish paying for the 405,000 dollar sale price.
