HeavyGunner Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If they made news like that today I would watch it religiously. Love the USA pride along with the bragging that comes along with it. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

41chevy Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Allen Hill is believed to be the sole legal resident of the former Packard. He's lived in the warehouse for about eight years, shortly after he lost his Detroit home to foreclosure. He pays for utilities but no rent.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/real-estate/2014/10/09/packard-plant-detroit-fernando-palazuelo-allan-hill/16963723/ 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44100-1945-packard-merlin-v-12-factory-video/#findComment-325369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
