I know what you meant, and that is exactly what i was doing! =)
That is about the only thing i know about Packards other than how to spot 
one..   So i was just adding my 2 cents.
Malso, maybe in Canada, Packards would go for a whole lot more than here, to 
answer your question,

Santa Barbara, CA, USA =)
I know for a fact that you can sell a car in  the Midwest for a WHOLE lot 
ore
than you could get or it in CA.  For example, when i went back to MN a couple 
winters ago, at a FORD dealership (ok, ok... they ALWAYS inflate the price, 
but for the sake of my story, please disregard that fact )
there was a 1960 T-Bird.  CHerry red with a sun roof and a 390 with 110K on 
it.  A great lookin' car, w/o a doubt, but they wanted a cool $16 Grand for 
it.  I could hardly keep from laughing.  Searching through the newspaper 
there, i saw 65 Stangs for $3000+, needing work, etc.. 
When i came back, i checked out the local car trader mags for comparison.  
ot
only did i see a 1960 Tbird in the same condition, but for $3400 (sun roof 
too).  And 65 Stangs in 'fair' shape go for $1700-$2200.  (Of course you 
an't
go a BLOCK and not see a 60's Stang around So. Ca.)
BTW, i saw the same Tbird in the aforementioned ad a month later at a 
dealership for $5000.
How much are 65 Stangs in YOUR neck of the woods, in Canada?
