Two friends of mine are Merc heads for the most part, however, if you mention Packard both of them bow towards Detroit as both of them are of the opinion that nothing has ever built better than a Packard (including Rolls which one of them owns a 1937 model). The problem is that their philosophy is starting to wear off on me. Do I resist or let the draw take me over? I have already been seriously eying a few 1948-1953 models. The 1948-1950 'bathtubs' have a strong draw on me. I have been reading about the history of Packard. Their principles of build quality in 1905 puts cars today to shame. Do I need therapy?
