With all of the amazing cars on display at America's Packard Museum, housed at the Citizen's Motorcar Company in Dayton, OH, there is surely something for just about everyone's automotive tastes.
You have probably heard the last name of the person who owned this car, a 1933 Seven Passenger Super Eight Touring car. The owner was William Proctor (his family of Proctor and Gamble fame). Though this was without a doubt a luxury car, Proctor didn't want to flaunt his wealth. So anything that would have been done up in chrome was painted black so as not to attract attention. This request, though, made the car stand out even more.
Another unique vehicle on display is this classic Packard pick up truck. Check out the solid rubber wheels. There was no real suspension so that the driver felt every bump along the road. No other information was readily available but the date on the side of the truck says 1918.
This last car is a Seven Series 1930 Boattail Speedster. This model came in a number of different body designs including a Phaeton, a coupe, a sedan, and, of course, this Boattail model. Because of the Great Depression, this was one of the last years for the Speedster from Packard.
