So sad

[A Horse With No Name]

Very true...we have lost a huge part of our automotive heritage.

We've got a Packard museum here in Dayton but you have to call ahead to view still haven't made that call. It's a small exhibit like an old dealership, window shopped it before.

Think of the hours the stylists, engineers, and line workers put into producing these soulful machines, and then a death so stark, emotionless and unjust is fallen upon them.

I looked pretty hard at a '55 Clipper Constellation a few years ago- classy, detailed machine.

Good to read that 18 Caribbeans got saved, tho.

I would not mind a '50s Packard at all.

[A Horse With No Name]

50's Packards were fantastic cars, IMHO.

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

That's BS.

People are so dumb.

[Camino LS6]

Ugh.

Sickening.

[knightfan26917]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no.

Why can't they ruin cars that NEED to be ruined????

Oh, this makes my heart sink.

I utterly failed to go to the Packard Museum last Summer, so I must go there and take many pictures (which they graciously encourage) to counter this rending display.

Think of the hours the stylists, engineers, and line workers put into producing these soulful machines, and then a death so stark, emotionless and unjust is fallen upon them.

A couple years ago I heard a talk from a GM designer who worked on the '90s Riviera. He showed a picture of one crushed in a junkyard and jokingly quipped to the effect of "this is how you know you've been a successful designer."
