So -- we were down in Concord, NH yesterday to watch our granddaughter play soccer*
When we parked at the fields, I was quite taken aback, and even given to some Old Line State nostalgia, by this interesting Jeep that was also parked there.

FWIW, here is the aforementioned attempt to photograph the Packard's... umm... rump bustle.
