Amazing pic, like they were tearing out the line right after the final car passed by.

First car I can remember well..at age 6..my dad’s new 1953 Packard Caribbean coupe..the swan hood ornament was gorgeous..and he had those curb feelers on the fenders...I loved to play with them when the car was in the driveway.

They were literally tearing up the floor as the last car cleared the line?? I hope it’s in a museum somewhere.

The last Packards that were built in Detroit were made in 1956. The car in the picture is, I believe, a 1954 Clipper.
