Cars like that are certainly a whole other level!

My brother works in a high end restoration shop and one of the first cars he did some restoration on was this '32 Packard.  A beautiful car through and through.

oldcarguy:
The 1932 Packard's are amazingly beautiful. And the V12 is so smooth and quiet. Most Packard lovers would say the 1934 is the most desirable model.

Follow the link below to learn abbout a lady that has a life long love for cars.. At 103 years old and can still handle her 1930 model 740 Packard roadster.. She lived in Plymouth Michigan most her life. Sadly she passed away in 2015 just short of 104..

Beautiful car. 

A nice small car museum in Dayton OH, America's Packard Museum is located in what was once a dealership.  In addition to the cars there are the V-12 engines used in WWII PT boats (3!) and some nice displays.  https://www.americaspackardmuseum.org/

And while you're in Dayton go see the Air Force museum.

I've been to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton.  Can't believe that was almost forty years ago.  :a102:

The Amerian Packard Museum in Dayton is really nice. Been there numerous times over the years. In warren Ohio is the the /packardmuseum that tells the history of the Packard car company better. A must see for anyone that follows Packards.

But the Wriggt Patterson Airforce Museum is fantastic. If you have kids, in my case, grandkids with interest in the evelution of airplanes up to and including rockets. This is the place. Every two or three years they sponcer the "Dawn Patrol Fly in". Have live displays of anything related to WWI. From planes, including bi-planes mono planes and tri-planes. Both radio controlled models and full size replicas. That fly several times a day. Also reenactment of soldiers and nurses. Along with antique cars of the time.   

Has anyone experienced a true rotary engine biplane fly. That where the crankshaft mounted to the planes firewall. And the propeller is attached to the engine. And the entire engine rotates. It has a very interesting sound. A and made for a stable flight. Acted as a gyroscope.
