After the final episode wrapped, on the last season, I removed the brass plaque that was on the front door, of his Beacon Hill residence. I still have it, located on the inside of my front door. I wish there was a way I could post the pic of the plaque.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125960067962713297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-58541415216787578522015-06-09T14:50:21.322-07:002015-06-09T14:50:21.322-07:00I have now corrected that Packard info in my post....I have now corrected that Packard info in my post.J.

But you're right, he supplies the correct model year in "To Steal a King." Thanks for the lead.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JeffJ.

I like to think of it as an updated take on a favorite old-time radio program about a similarly suave and mercenary freelance insurance investigator, "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."Gary R.
