I owned one.  As a sophomore in high school at A&M Consolidated, the son of a
dentist freind of mine hated the Packard his dad gave him and dearly wanted a
hot rod I had built.  He swapped it with me.  I was a 1936 Packard straight
eight that had a bit over 100,000 miles on it and was worn out. Because the
front transmission shaft was the same thing by design as the Chevy transmission
models, I hand built an adaptor plate for it and stuffed a 1957 Chevy Corvette
engine in it.  The U-Joints were the same ones that were then used in the
Oldsmobile cars, but the rest of the 'stuff' sure wasn't 1950's.  I had learned
about the Packard match to all this and was using Packard standard shift three
speed transmissions in my hot rods at the time.  But that's not really why I'm
posting this.

This car was a 1936 Packard Convertible, with rumble seat!  I and my friends
used to roar off to dance halls all over this part of Texas in it on the
weekends.  With sixty Aggies for every gal in high school, forget about ever
having much fun as a high school boy in College Station, Texas back then. 
Roaring down Main Street in Houston and all over the place sure got a lot of
attention for all us in this speed boy, I assure you.  But it wasn't too long
until I couldn't ever find any brake parts and other things to use to repair
things, so broke down, I sold it to someone in Houston for a 'few' dollars.  I
sure wish now I had never done that.

The car was originally sold by the Packard dealer in Brenham, Texas to this
dentist, green paint with gold pin stripes.  But his son repainted it maroon
with white pin stripes.  Years later I did a lot of research on this car. 
There were only 48 of these Packard coupe convertibles made that year with the
straight eight motor which wasn't worth a flip.  There were some more made with
the V-12 motor.  If you have ever seen the movie 'The Last Convertible' you'll
know exactly what sort of thing I owned in high school back then,  You can do
the research.  The value of one of these creatures currently in even the really
decent body shape, but with the original engine, is at worst about $500,000 USD
now.

We all make mistakes.  Orchestrated by what we do not know about this and that.
 Strangely, I've never been able to even find this car even at this day, so I
guess it just wound up in car wherever underground.

Sigh.
