Don:

One of the nice features of old Packard sedans was that you could get an entire trio, with their instruments, in the back seat and have room left over for a wet bar. Dunno if anyone ever actuallly tried that, but I know my late uncle's '38 Packard would have accommodated it. They were powerful, long, sleek and beautful cars, from a time when autos were built by coach builders, not automated welders. In my estimation, only the Deusenberg - a custom-built car - was in the same league.

As to the songs that started this thread, some were funny as contemporary humor, others were just plain awful - in any era. Most of them would not resonate with anyone save "seasoned citizens" now.
Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette is still a cautionary tale though.
