Your Friendly Packard Service Manager

            Welcome to our service department - although very rarely do any of our Packards require service, dependable as they are. However, if ever the need for a minor adjustment should arise, we are here for you six days a week from 7: a.m. to 10: p.m. to greet our customers with a friendly smile and a full service auto department.

A little bit of information about this artwork. The office itself is situated within the confines of the Packard Museum but if you should visit the museum it is highly unlikely you will ever meet the gentleman in this picture. He is actually a historian, speaker and local actor whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the Dayton Concours d’Elegance in Carillon Park. Actually this gentleman approached me and ask if I would kindly take some pictures of him as he stood outside the vintage Sun Oil Station located on the Carillon Park grounds. And before anyone should ask, yes, I did obtain a signed “model release” from this gentleman. And yes, at some point in time, you will probably be seeing a picture of the vintage Sun Oil & Gas station.

There are several items added to the original picture of this office scene but rather than have some viewers looking for mistakes (which probably do exist) and/or certain hidden treasures, these items will heretofore remain unidentified……… oh darn, huh?

And before anyone asks, yes, I did think of doing this artwork in a monotone to emulate a more vintage “feel” but again, I decided against doing this merely because, personally, I enjoy the rich warm tones of the various wood fixtures and moldings in the picture. Also, I feel the model should be viewed in full color. 

This was not an easy project but I am sure the dividends of my hard work will pay off handsomely……….. so I can be one of those people to whom you will “Ask the Man Who Owns One”.

In any event, hope you’all enjoy……………..
