1937 Packard Twelve 2-4 Coupe - Lalique Crystal Mascot

I saw one of these on a Cord a couple of years ago. Reportedly worth $25K
all by itself.

Really nice Packard photos.
Regarding this particular car - the mascot added considerable cost to
the car and worth big, big bucks by itself in todays market. Noticed
the A post and the metal between the door and rear window, and I have
to laugh at some of the new car reviewers complaining on some of the
new cars about the blind spots on the model they are testing. I
sometimes think they feel that have to give some negatives in a review
so that they don't seem too loose with their praises. Hell, they
should have to drive these with the small mirrors if they really think
the new vehicles have blind spots.

I think that it was a lot easier to drive this kind of car back 70 years ago
when there were fewer vehicles on the road and almost no multiple lane
highways or streets. The driver of this Packard wouldn't have to look over
his shoulder to see who was in the next lane because there wouldn't have
been one. Besides, I imagine that people would have given Packards like
this the right of way.
