Thanks for posting this! The quality of the film is amazing, guess because it was "remastered".

Same channel has a number of Packard videos, here is the playlist link: Packard Playlist

Also a video on the 1957 Packard Introduction & Studebaker-Packard Press Conference, which I didn't see on the playlist. Unfortunately the quality is no where as good as the V8 Durability Run video. Here is the link: "57 Packard Introduction

Link doesn't work for me.....get a '403 Forbidden' notice.

Wow Wat, that is a super nice Clipper!! I hope Fred will approve of it.

You may be better served by starting a thread in the "Packard Vehicles - For Sale, Wanted, Trade" section of this forum.

Yes Wat, we sure have missed reports of your and Fred's exploits! Glad all of you are going well. Of course, we will expect pics of the Super Clipper even if you don't purchase it.

Well.....every car is not perfect. And the owner can do anything they want with their own car, and sell it when they want. If someone feels so strongly that the mods should be reversed back to stock, they should buy the car and restore it. There are a lot of lower level V8 Packards out there for sale, and let's face it, not all of them will get perfectly restored or even back on the road. Personally, I'm glad this one is still running and not crushed.

As far as the serial number plate, the buyer needs to beware. Hopefully a potential buyer will do some research and realize something is wrong. Maybe they will show up here to ask questions, and see this thread.
