Donrent...In the almost four years that I have been on UHH, I have noticed a very high percentage (90% +++) of your posts are always "NEGATIVE" comments towards others. What the hell is your problem? You consistently put others down....WHY!!!!!.....if you can't say something positive, why don't you keep to yourself....your Avitar even portrays you as a very "SAD" and lonely sole. I feel for you Don...I really do, but I think I speak for others as well, you are very "SOUR"....Sooo sooo sad!!!!

In the later 1930's Packard Motor Cars formed a business relationship with the Henney Coach Builders. They became a major builder of hearses for export to South America, among other places. In the late '30's the people of south america were huge fans of rather garish funeral vehicles. The ruling class in India also were famous for the coaches they put on R/R chassis, Packard also provided many of the same chassis. This thing might actually have been built as a custom motor-home type vehicle. Remember, in the 1930's people in this country weren't moving around in motor homes, or in anything else.

Not a convert. Original manufacture. They built them as far back as 1917.
