Ahhhhh.  the old Packard Tri-color.  My friend borrowed his brothers brand new one he got for record Packard sales that year.  He tore out the electric shift transmission on a steep hill, using the shift buttons as a typewriter...............  Took two wreckers to pull us to the top.

I’m not a fan of ornate pinstriping in almost any circumstance, but that aside, that is a beautiful color combo for that truck.

Remember just how quickly the headlight buckets rusted out, and some fell out.

Ford fixed it by putting a tar paper baffle behind the headlight bucket so the salt and sand kicked up into the inside of the fender wouldn't pack up under there.
