Packard Series II
The Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.

I have been away for a few months...I moved from WV to OH which was crazy time consuming. I haven't had much time to get my camera out, but I did manage a few images of the magnolia tree in my new yard. Things have settled down a bit, so I am ready to get out and shoot!!!

The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio. It was established in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1803.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1978.
Lebanon is located on the old road between Cincinnati and Columbus. For this reason, many notables have visited the inn. The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Daniel Webster, Robert A. Taft, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.

I remember seeing Soo Line SD60's in Berea when I was really young, so when I heard that one was leading an eastbound ethanol train and was set to run on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line, I knew I had to try for a few shots, despite the less than ideal weather. Here, train 6K4 stomps upgrade through Wooster Cut in Wooster, Ohio with SOO (CEFX) 6020 leading the way.
