Stunning in red! This 1930 Packard 733 is as good as it gets.
Love affairs with cars can start in some unlikely places. For Paul Kammann, it started on a hunting trip more than 50 years ago while he was out communing with Mother Nature.
"It was back in about 1970, maybe. I was out hunting around Madison, Wis., and I came through a woods and there was an old frame of a car sitting in the woods," chuckles Kammann, a retired resident of rural Cleveland, Wis., "And I said, 'I wonder what that was?' And I started walking around that car and there was a brass axle cap nut on there, and in the center was an octagon indentation, which is a Packard trademark. So I did steal that hubcap and I still have it.
"And then of course I started learning about them and reading about them and how special they were. But I didn't buy that first one until 2009, so that's a lot of years that I waited before I scratched that itch. But that's where it all started, out hunting in the woods!"
What a great way to spend the day with Dad!

A story about a 1941 Mercury that almost took the checkered flag.
Upon its arrival at Bauman's Auto Wrecking, the Merc was pretty clean and in original condition. For about a month or so, it was driven by its next-up owner, Ronnie Bauman. Then it was retired to a storage lot where it spent the following 13 years out of sight, out of mind, but not completely out of doors. It was parked beneath an open-air lean-to with a leaky tin roof.
Eventually, one evening in the early part of 1983, Ronnie turned a page of Old Cars Weekly and came upon a promotional ad for a brand-new timed rally competition: the "Great American Race." Sponsored by Interstate Batteries and sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) for pre-World War II motor vehicles, the event would begin at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., and end at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Trucks are the hot ticket these days. Not many would turn away from this 1950 Chevy hauler.
With the way collector truck prices are soaring, it's hard to imagine any nice old truck isn't a good investment these days. That's definitely our take on this 1950 Chevy long-bed hauler. It's for sale at Country Classic Cars in Staunton, Ill., and while the asking price of $18,300 is not exactly couch cushion money, this truck looks like it has a lot of potential — either as a fun "drive as-is" summer truck, or as a candidate for some restoration work.
