The rest of the video is very cool!
Ditto, same thought; "Talking Heads" that write their own material without verifying...

The Packard engines in the PT were developed from the V-8 or V-12 'Liberty' engine used in WWI aircraft. Modular engine - used as a V-8, V-12 and straight 6. (Packard later -and concurrently- built the V-12 'Merlin' V12 that was in the P-51 Mustang.)

I was waiting for a pic of Jack Kennedy... and there it was near the end...


Thank you, thank you Byron...
