I think I need some brain bleach.

I'm going to Hell, I know...

That's not the Mustang she got.

Used LeBaron GTS turbo. Got it free from my mother. The head gasket decided to let go at @75 MPH, far from home. Much smoke and hilarity ensued. I could have bought a decent, recent-vintage used car with all the cash I poured into that damned thing.

"None of these Packards are super rare or desirable cars..."

All the Nutella-eating, ironic-tee-shirt-wearing, Wilco-listening hipsters are gonna be first in line to buy one of these, then they'll sell it as soon as the first article about them appears in the mainstream media.

Please. I remember when the internet didn't exist, computers were the size of refrigerators, and the cost of a simple pocket calculator came down to the $50 range.

Any chance they can use that $10 million and bring back the Auro Show In Motion? Pretty please?

Nah, I'd give it to the Chevelle. Nearly every show I go to during the summer has at least one example on display, usually in red with black stripes.

"Authorities say he'd left word with his family that such was his intent, but he hadn't said exactly where he was going."

Judging by the seemingly large amount of planning, it's obvious he didn't reach his decision by Caprice.

Sorry. I will Endeavor to stay on topic.

Could he have escaped it faster if he was driving an Escape?

The '73 was an all-new design (the "Colonnade" years) that also had twin round lamps, but they were mounted above the bumper. The car in question here is a '72.
