Last time I saw a Packard it was a '42 Clipper. Saying I was impressed would be an understatement... I remember seeing a Hudson around 4 years ago near the place where I saw the Packard. When you say old Rolls-Royce, I guess older than those from the '70s that I see once in a while. When it comes to Dodges, once in a while I still see a few from the '30s to the '50s more often fitted with the flathead-six engine, and a few weeks ago I saw a '50 Buick. None of those so usual to see as they were when my grandparents came to my hometown when my father was a kid, and after '76 many were either scrapped due to a lack of replacement parts or adapted with parts from Brazilian-made cars just to keep running until they were in so much disrepair it was not deemed easy enough to restore...
