Packard introduced its Sixteenth Series models in September of 1937. Most changes for the Senior cars were cosmetic including pontoon-shaped fenders and split windshields. The Super Eight features Packard's silky-smooth 320 cubic-inch, 130-horsepower inline eight-cylinder engine, which was actually the Standard Eight engine of previous years. Packard tallied 48,682 sales for 1938, far less than 1937, but still the best showing of all independents. The market for custom coachwork was rapidly declining along with the number of luxury car makers following the stock market crash of 1929.
This car rides on the 137-inch wheelbase platform and is a unique custom-bodied Super Eight Coupe. It was delivered to the Mayfair Carriage Company in London to be fitted with this stylish and very British two-door body. Designated an export chassis by Packard, the car is equipped with both a right-hand drive and a 12-volt electrical system. The car had been ordered by a European shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, for his mother. While in Europe, the car resided in Greece, Italy, Spain, and France, prior to coming to the United States. After the war, the car was sadly neglected; it was abandoned and was being used as a chicken coop.(YIKES!!!) Its rescuer, an American Naval officer, brought it back to the United States, and it has since been restored to its former glory by its current owner.

A couple of Moonshiners getting ready to transport their liquid lightening across the state line. They were called "moonshiners" because they worked their craft under the light of the moon in order to prevent the government agents from seeing the smoke from their stills. During the Great Depression the distilling and sale of moonshine was a major source of income for depressed regions of the Appalachians. Americans have always loved their likker.
Image imagined in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio 2.0 and Lightroom Classic.
One of Giuseppe Figoni's teardrop creations on a 1938 Talbot Lago , the T23 Figoni & Falaschi Faux Cabriolet at speed on Hiway 1.
Not one of the more famous T150 Competition SS teardrops (one of which went 3rd over all at LeMans driven virtually from the showroom to the track), it is still Gorgeous and with that tear drop shape, that Figoni first introduced on the much larger Delahaye 135 in 1935. Grand Touring for 2 in comfort and major major style, ............just in time for Europe to up in flames in WW II.

This is the first Milky Way panorama I've tried. I've admired many on here on Flickr and decided it was time to try one. This is a composite of 4 sets of 8 night sky photos oriented horizontally to make the sky panorama along with 4 photos oriented horizontally for the foreground. Each set of 8 sky photos were composited in Photoshop to reduce noise. The resulting 4 photo composites were stitched in Lightroom. I honestly didn't think that they would stitch because I've had some previous failures with night sky photos stitching in Lightroom, but this time it had no problem at all. The foreground photos were shot looking west on the night of the full moon and the Milky Way photos were shot 2 weeks earlier on a night of no moon looking eastward at a different location. The overall composite was done in Photoshop. The camera body for all the photos was an Olympus OMD EM1.2. The lens for the sky photos was a Olympus 12mm f2 and the lens for the foreground photos was an Olympus 12-100mm f4.
The name "Linoma" comes from a combination of the names of the nearby cities of Lincoln and Omaha. If you zoom in on the name you'll notice that the "N" is outlined in Red. This mimics the symbol that the University of Nebraska - Lincoln uses for it's sports teams.
A few years ago there was severe flooding along the Platte River which destroyed nearly all of the nearby buildings at Linoma Beach but the Lighthouse survived. The roadway in the foreground was underwater for about a month.
"The base of the lighthouse was a gas station, built in 1938. The 110-foot-tall tower was added the following year. There are ten floors inside, and the builders may have wanted the lighthouse to become a novelty motel, but that never happened. The lighthouse worked as a real lighthouse for years, with a spiral staircase to the top and a bright neon beacon, but it gradually fell into disrepair and was abandoned. Nearing collapse, the lighthouse (and its surrounding RV park) were bought in 2010, and its restoration began in the summer of 2013. In 2003, Linoma Beach was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, and the lighthouse was especially significant as a representation of early 20th Century roadside architecture."
