At the restoration shop..
Passed by this place today and just had to stop and get a few shots, the proprietor was very nice and readily agreed to me taking a few images.

I told him I would blur out tags or any identifying bits..

The first is Packard, I forget the year.



A Cadillac, no clue what year, probably sometime in the 40's..



A Studebaker, probably 50's or early 60's.



A 70'ish 440 'Cuda.

2. That's really unusual to paint the Packard white.
I'd be interested to know why.

Love the green and yellow Studebaker.

4. Knowing nothing about cars all I can say is:
Save the first one for when we have a contest for "White"
It's awesome.

6. That looks like a 1934 Packard Sedan, a 1939 Cadillac, a 1955 Studebaker Speedster, ...

10. That Cadillac interior is just gorgeous. I really miss "Fisher vent" windows.

9. Oh, and here is what you see when you walk in the front door of the office space..
I thought it was worth a shot.

11. I just noticed that Hudson Hornet
behind the Packard. Looks like a '52, but there were a couple of years that had pretty much the same body style so it's hard to tell.
