Packard Eight 1934 Convertible Victoria “Ask the Man Who Owns One” (Pregúntele Al Hombre Que Posee Uno)
Pliego2 R8 3/31/08 7:06 PM Page 8 VIVEN AQUI PACKARD EIGHT 1934 CONVERTIBLE VICTORIA “ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE” (PREGÚNTELE AL HOMBRE QUE POSEE UNO). ESTE FUE DESDE 1901, EL SLOGAN DE ESTA PRESTIGIOSA MARCA NORTEAMERICANA, POSIBLEMENTE LA MÁS TRADICIONAL Y EMBLEMÁTICA MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS TRES GRANDES. MUY RECONOCIDA EN NUESTRO PAÍS, AUNQUE LAMENTABLEMENTE EXISTEN MUY POCOS EJEMPLARES QUE HAYAN SOBREVIVIDO HASTA NUESTROS DÍAS. AQUÍ LES PRESENTAMOS UNO DE ELLOS, QUE VIVIÓ TODA SU VIDA EN ARGENTINA, Y HOY SE MUESTRA TAN ELEGANTE Y MAJESTUOSO COMO CUANDO FUERA CERO KILÓMETRO.

1949 Packard Super Deluxe by Bruce Sedel Chesapeake, VA
Packards Virginia Members Pages My 1949 Packard Super Deluxe By Bruce Sedel Chesapeake, VA I have enjoyed the exclusive pleasure of decades-long ownership of numerous Packard automobiles beginning with a 1949 Super Eight sedan, one of five straight-eight powered Packard’s that I have bought and sold since 1974. All were operationally terrific automobiles largely attributable to these magnificent Packard-built engines that have always provided seemingly endless miles of dependable and reliable driving pleasure. Down the road I even got bit by the V-eight bug and for a number of years, focused my attention on a few of these later model Packard cars including a 1956 Four Hundred that I had acquired in 1995. Of course we all know these are huge, heavy and powerful vehicles capable of continuous high-speed interstate driving all while being surrounded in the highest level of luxury and ultra-comfort. Although I prefer straight-eight’s, one only needs to drive a v-eight torsion-level Packard to truly understand where Packard was going with the brand. Even though they represented such a monumental departure from the Packard standard that had stood for so many years, the automobile market was evolving and certainly Packard was heading in the right direction. The company had after all, focused nearly its entire production life powering its automobiles with straight-eights. The subject matter of this story involves a strange twist of events culminating in the acquisition of a rare straight eight bathtub instead of a v-eight car that was originally the focus of my efforts. -

Sielaff, page 3 Towering above the Mississippi River flood plain, St. Paul’s Smith Avenue High Bridge, seen here in a 1905 postcard, connected the city’s oldest residential neighborhood, West Seventh Street, with its newest at the time, Cherokee Heights, or the Upper West Side. John Anderson, a painter working on the bridge in 1902, fell and survived the accident. His story tells us much about the dangers in the workplace then and now.
