Some real Packard delight. A Packard reborn!!

[Whitehouse]

Fifty years ago this chap created his own time capsule by welding this car inside an obselete stoarage tank. This year he thought it was time to unpack this present. And boy! What a present to give to yourself!!!

Six months ago, Jerry Brummett used a tractor and a torch to open a big, heavy present he bought himself nearly 50 years ago.
Now, the 71-year-old Springfield Township resident and classic-car enthusiast is happily restoring his very rare, very beautiful piece of local and automotive history: a 1940 Packard Super 8 Formal Sedan, one of fewer than 250 ever made, that family members said was originally owned by Frank Duane Stranahan, one of the founders of Champion Spark Plug Co.
Once it is fully restored, the Packard -- which Mr. Brummett said he bought from an area farmer more than five decades ago for $350 and once used to transport the motorcycles he used to race -- will be just the 15th copy known to exist and probably will be valued at nearly $50,000.

Once fully restored it will look like this!!


A hell of a lot more worth than $50,000 I think!!
