NatGeo had a series called "Mysteries of the Abandoned" and the Packard plant was featured in one of the episodes.Packard engineering was vastly superior to the big three, but what does reality have to do with it. I recall in the mid 60s seeing the empty Packard factory building in Detroit.

What a great series. I'm willing to bet that this car was bought from a private owner and is on the way to the restoration shop.
My own fantasy is that the owner is using the car as it was designed, to be driven, not all polished up and restored sitting in somebody's collection. A 1928 Packard with a starboard list, bugs on the radiator, a little rust here and there and a refurbished hood ornament. An old gentleman, long past his prime but still hanging in there. I hope I'm right.

That small ?? door denotes a general category of a "doctor's Packard" The small door was repeated on both sides of the car, and the purpose was to hold golf bags crosswise behind the seat backs. A packard especially for doctors who go golfing.
