The older cars are exactly what you want a 1930's vintage car to be and the later ones have that cool grill. I always liked Packards and wish that I could afford to get one. However the only ones I could get would be Packardbakers, and I would not get one of those -- except maybe the Hawk- it looks better than the Studie version.
I believe President Franklin Roosevelt gifted the prewar Packard body dies to the communist dictator, Joseph Stalin, his wartime ally.

The pictures of the black Russian ZIL or ZIS limousines from the late 1940s and early 1950s I have seen, seem to back that idea up. I am pretty sure it is true.
