I think the post here is not by the vaguely well-known race car driver, but a kid in his PJs "pretending". Pretty fakey-jakey, to paraphrase Pop Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. For someone who's involved in the motor industry but NOT heard of Packard is also a stretch.......you know, spacing out on a car that filled a sixty year part of American history: 1)First NY Auto Show appearance in 1900 2)"Grey Wolf" factory race car in 1904 3)An integral part of "The 3 Ps of Premium Cars" by 1910 4)Successful intro of "Twin Six" in 1916 5)Successful intro of a lower-price and smaller "Single Six" in 1921 6)Successful intro of Straight-8 in 1924 6)Successful intro of "120" in 1935 7)Along with Rolls-Royce and Continental produced what some feel was the finest piston aircraft engine ever, the "Merlin" in the 1940s
