FILE - In this Aug. 29, 1933 file photo, President Franklin D. Roosevelt waves while being driven through Albany, NY, in the Packard Phaeton he used when he was governor of the state. The car, used by FDR from 1929 to 1932, and occasionally after that, is headed off to an antique vehicle expert for some repairs. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who plans to use the car for ceremonial occasions, says the repairs will not alter the paint, wheels or upholstery, and will instead focus on basic preservation. With FDR were Albany Mayor John Thatcher, center and Gov Herbert H. Lehman. (AP Photo/File)
