Refimprove date July 2007 Image 1941 Packard 180.JPG thumb 250px 1941 Packard 180 touring sedan The Packard 180 was introduced in 1940 by the Packard Motor Car Company to replace the discontinued V12 engine V 12 as their top of the line luxury model. The 180 or One Eighty featured an straight 8 in line eight cylinder , convert 356 CID cc sing on engine that developed 160 horsepower . It was advertised as the most powerful eight cylinder engine offered by any automobile manufacturer in 1940. By contrast, the Cadillac 346 cubic inch V 8 developed 150 hp Packard also used this new engine in their mid range 160 models. Packards of all series 110, 120, 160, 180 shared similar body styling in 1940 which some later said led to a cheapening of the once exclusive luxury marque. However, the 180 s featured finer interior detailing, fabrics and carpeting. There were minor styling changes in the 1941 and 1942 models. The final 180s rolled off the Packard assembly line in February, 1942, as World War II brought a halt to civilian automobile production. There have been rumors that machinery was transferred to the Soviet Union , and production continued until 1959 as the ZIS 110 . However, according in James Ward s The Fall of Packard, page 46, he found no supporting evidence in the Packard archives of such a transfer. Also it must be noted that the ZIS 110 shares no sheet metal with any Packard ref http www.kitfoster.com 2007 08 clipper conundrum.html Kit Foster s CarPort The Clipper Conundrum ref , despite its external decor elements were intentionally designed to heavily resemble pre war Packards, favoured by Stalin.

Driveways rarely have traffic lights , but some that bear heavy traffic, especially those leading to commercial businesses and parks, do. Driveways may be decorative in ways that public road s cannot, because of their lighter traffic and the willingness of owners to invest in their construction. Driveways are not resurfaced, snow blown or otherwise maintained by governments. They are generally designed to conform to the architecture of connected houses or other buildings. Materials used for driveways include concrete, decorative brick, cobblestone, asphalt, and decomposed granite, surrounded with grass or other ground cover plants. Driveways are commonly used as paths to private Garage house garages , carport s, or houses . On large estates, a driveway may be the road that leads to the house from the public road, possibly with a gate in between. Some driveways divide to serve different homeowners. A driveway may also refer to a small apron of pavement in front of a garage with a curb cut in the sidewalk, sometimes too short to accommodate a car. Often, either by choice or to conform with local regulations, cars are parked in driveways in order to leave streets clear for traffic. Moreover, some jurisdictions prohibit parking or leave standing any motor vehicle upon any residential lawn area defined as the property from the front of a residential house, condominium, or cooperative to the street line other than a driveway, walkway, concrete or blacktopped surface parking space . ref http www.barnegat.net GeneralCodes VehiclesParkingRestrictions.pdf Chapter 71A Vehicles, Parking Restrictions in Residential Areas Township of Barnegat, NJ , retr ... more details
