OK - try it now. I revised it and It worked for me (the one I posted first did not work for me either - sorry - I should have checked it this morning).
Apparently (?) I originally did not get all of the characters correctly copied.

The Packard in the title is 81 and she is 101 - she owns a pretty interesting stable of cars as well. If our Tercs' front bumper was even with her Packard's front - our rear bumper would be at the back of the Packard's driver's door...
