Lyric discussion by Aristocracker 

It's not

"Get that Packard up and let's move"

It's

"pack gear"

@Aristocracker This is clearly not what the song says. The mention of Packard is typical of Buffet who loves for the early-Baby-Boomer age, 1950s TV and so on. In the early 1950s a Packard was on par with a Cadillac. In the early 1970s it was totally passe, which is why Buffett mentions it here. The whole song is about a backward look at a place whose charm is mainly because of how backward the place is. If it's one thing Buffett loves, it's timelessness.
