One of those fellas ya' wish you'd met,....
His favorite cars included Packards of the 1928 – 1930 vintage, both sixes and eights, as well as V-16 Cadillacs and Buicks. The crown jewel of his collection was a 1930 Minerva. None of his cars were restored. Many were well maintained original cars that he kept in good running condition and used for decades as every day drivers. He was an excellent mechanic and raconteur.
