The Packard Speedster Runabout in the El Segundo Automobile Driving Museum





1942 Packard Henney ambulance, only 16000 miles in 70 years






A different "History Of The American Automobile chart than I posted before, and the source website is defunct, dead, off the interenet. If you want a copy, buy one at the Automobile Driving Museum





for a written out lesson about the history of the American automobile:http://l3d.cs.colorado.edu/systems/agentsheets/New-Vista/automobile/


but the best looking one by far is one Jim told me about and I posted years ago:



Innovative way to show museum visitors where the cafe / grill is



Packard and Studebaker stock certificates




New old stock (NOS) Packard and Studebaker parts at the Automobile Driving Museum





a bit of this and that in the display case at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo

 when only a handful were made, how did anyone ever hold onto the booklet? Wouldn't it be cool as hell if the museums had a bit of good fellowship loaning, and put this with the Turbine car in the Peterson Museum?

Mister G bought a dealership brochure at a swap meet, and way cool! He scanned it! He posted it! http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/2012/02/but-what-about-hovercars-we-were.html 


these are just a couple of the entire brochure, go see the rest!  http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/2012/02/but-what-about-hovercars-we-were.html

 The "World Buggy Co" ? as part of, or a name for Studebakers?
 This is supposed to be a Packard? Well, as a model car, it's supposed to represent a real car... did Packard ever have one made by a coachbuilder / carrozzeria

I didn't know the full name of the Tucker model was Torpedo 335


1957 XKSS bought for hill climbs. The Brits mean racing uphill on twisty roads, not cross country without a road.



"Hillclimb" in England means racing up a curvy road to the top of a hill; the road is paved the whole way. It's not like an American hillclimb, straight up the side 
Thanks Archie! 



Cool vehicles at the Automobile Driving museum, in El Segundo, on the west coast, just south of LAX

 I love before and afters











 above is a Studebaker with unusual oval headlights
 good way to liven up a gate
