I have the 1964 Chrysler 300K waiting for me in California to pay shipping etc and I did promise myself that I have enough cars and that loot needs to be spent erecting the stoned mansion. Jetsetters and possums it is clear to me that I have again lied to myself and it is obviously essential that I must have a 1956 Packard Patrician for three reasons. 1. I was born in 1956 2. This Packard if not a copied to become a Soviet Zil certainly looks like one and there are all theories and yaks that the Soviet Union bought the Packard dies etc. 3. It looks like a good car to me. Thus therefore etc I am seeking your comments not on my blatant financial Toad of Toad Hall behaviour but on my choice of car. As I understand things Packard was considered a luxury car. If one of you fine gentlemen could lift up to the forum a photo of this Packard that would be so kind. Also a picture of the Zil version of it would even be kinder. | ||

The 1956 Packard Patrician appears very similar to the 1959 Zil 111 | ||

Also, jetsetters Gaz M13 Chaika is very similar to this Packard. Chaika means Seagull in Russian language and is stupid name for a car in my opinion. Richard is right Patrick, you must attend the Crewe rendezvous. The reason I can't buy the Russian version is that the prices asked are purely idiotic because most Russians think everybody in the west has a big house with a large swimming pool and tons of loot in the bank. Dumb I know but I blame US sitcoms for that misinformation. | ||

Dear Vlad, The 56 Packard is a beauty. What guise are you considering? 2 door coupe? 4 door? limo or convertible?  | ||

Only a four door Omar as the others are well out of my financial reach! |
