So this is one of my Holy Grails of Cardom, a real unicorn and I am a unicorn hunter...For
years I've heard that Packard offered a rare option for an automated
"sander" system controlled by the driver. When stuck in snow or
on ice, drivers could dump sand in front (the attached photo is not of an exhaust!) of the rear tires via a switch.
But
I couldn't find any proof and resigned myself to the fact that it was
just an urban legend. A while ago, I made an acquaintance online and we
got to discussing rare options and it came up. They said it was real and
they could prove it! Well, they were right and sent me actual pictures
of the system.
