My Dad used to work in that Packard plant on East Grand as a Tool & Die Maker from 35 to 45. During the war he made a lot of money, and by nature was a saver. He used to tell me that he would sometimes walk through the 2ND floor where Packard built the custom bodied cars...He also worked on the RR Merlin prototypes that were to be used in the P-38. There is a picture of him in the Packard book...in the RR Merlin chapter.
