- [For Sale: 1928 Packard 526 NZD $95,000] (https://www.southpacificpackards.org.nz/blog/2221369): 1928 Packard 526 belonging to the late Peter McGuinness.     Peter was a perfectionist and spent a lot of time and money to get the detail perfect. The car has been a ground up restoration including a reconditioned engine, upholstery, wiring, clutch etc. There is a small amount of finishing to do so the price reflects this. Like all restored cars the price is way below the actual costs of restoration.

- [Dream Car] (https://www.southpacificpackards.org.nz/blog/778946): “Ask the man who owns one” was Packard’s slogan, so we did, but, in these enlightened times, we asked his wife as well. A morning with Graham and Pam Giacometti and their spectacular 1934 Super Eight roadster gave us a good understanding of why people choose Packard.
