Went to CCCA site and the '47 Packard model 2103,2106, and 2126 are the latest ones listed, so the ones here are not Classics according to their[CCCA] own list. I guess the car doesn't have to be a classic to be in their show.

Did Patton die in a Packard like the 1947 sedan?

Patton's Dec. 9, 1945 accident occurred while he was riding in his '39 Cadillac
Model 75, driven by an army PFC. He was violently injured when the car was hit by a Deuce-and-a-half. Transported to the hospital, he was paralyzed from the neck down and died of congestive heart failure/pulmonary embolisms on Dec. 21st.
