Oh my goodness I would have died and gone to heaven to have a chance to photograph this beauty. This almost seems like it has motion to it. I think it looks stellar in b/w. #9586031

You'd love all the hood ornaments at our National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio (where the car was born). This is a terrific capture of the classic Packard Goddess of Speed - love the B&W! #9586771
