    I've got my eye on a Packard

    Anyone have any feelings about the car? I was excited when I found it. Loving baseball, like just about everyone else here, I love the year it happened to be.

    Is $12,500 way to high a price? It's registered out of Michigan as a Historical vehicle with the Historical License.

    a 1918 Packard?

    Re: I've got my eye on a Packard

    I'd have to see a picture to have an opinion. I'm into Studebakers mostly, but appreciate Packards too. Studebaker bought Packard in the 50s and actually marketed "hybrids" (Studebaker-Packards) for a few years. Here's my favorite: a 1958 Packard-Hawk. It's basically a Studebaker Hawk with a Packard front end on it and a Packard 352 c.i. V8 under the hood.

    Post a pic of the car you're looking at.

    It is pretty nice but not a convertible. The wheels are different. Wish they looked like the ones on yours. Car is sort of a burgundy color. Car sure has nice lines. It is a three speed that is shifted up by the steering wheel. 6 cylinder engine.

    I also like the DiMaggio/Williams connection to baseball. Could then change the colors to this and that some day -- maybe.
