I wonder what a Packard would look like today.

Check out the NEW Packard:

David E. Davis was/is involved with this venture...

As far as Great American Cars go, you cannot forget the 1931-33 Pierce Arrow! I saw two of them at last year's car show in Rhinebeck, NY and they are hands down the most impressive automobiles I have ever seen. They were near other Classics such as Packard and Caddy from the same vintage and they just were head and shoulders above the others. -- not that I would sneeze at a long wheelbase 1934 Packard if it found its way to my garage...

I always loved the Tucker esp since my uncle was a Tucker Dealer -- had the sign and everything... Great cars - I saw one once ata car show and it was really cool esp. the flat six. Disc breaks, fuel injection, safety cage, roll bar, etc etc.. way ahead of even our times...

Hudson -- I am not so sure about. They kind of missed the boat not having a V8 and I never really cared for their styling. Of course as a founding father of AMC I am in debt to them...
