A 1949 Packard Limo

Why? Just because.

Is this what Detective Paco rides around in after he retires?

Paco said...

He currently drives a canary-yellow, 1938 Packard Roadster. But the limo would be nice when he retires (if he can get Sheila to wear a chauffeur's cap).

Were I a retro-noir detective - and I'm not saying that I am not - I'd drive a Cord.

Paco said...

Saw one at an auto show in Richmond one time. I got a little drool on the hood, but wiped it off quickly, so the owner was none the wiser.

Then there was the abortive Cord Woody:

Would Sheila wear fishnet stockings?

Paco said...

Oh, yes!

Minnow-net or gill-net?
