1950 Packard. Bought in Houston in October 2015. Spent many months getting it road ready for the cross-country trip. End of June through mid July. No air. Drove from San Antonio, Texas to Grand Haven, Michigan to surprise Dad for his 90th birthday with a ride in the Packard. Dad owned several Packards when he was younger. He has been diagnosed with earlier stages of dimentia. When he went for the ride in the Packard, it brought back many great memories for him. Drove the 66 year-old Packard back home to Texas on Route 66. Total of 4,078 miles over 18 days. What an adventure! What great memories.

p.s. Think about moving this topic to the general forum, you may get more stories.
