You know I can remember the first time I saw a Packard 12 at a car show it was in frederick Md and when it rolled on to the field the only thing I heard was the grass crunching under the car and the whoosh from the fan no other noise.

WARNING!!!!!!!!That 35 Packard v12 with the funky sounding engine and rear is now for sale at Hemmings at a place called Motor Antiques in Atlanta Ga. Needless to say, the asking price took a HUGE drop from the 125K they were asking for it to now 85K (obviously a reflection on the work it will take to make this thing right).

Thanks!

I honestly don't know why when I post pics to this forum they always end up SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

As a 1955 Packard owner since 2003 unless you are fully knowledgeable about the mechanics of the car I would save up some money and make an appointment with Ross Miller at Speedwell garage in Parkton md. Parkton is about 30 miles NW of Baltimore he has always done excellent service by me and many other Packard owners his phone number is 410-357-4561.

Does anyone know where I can get an original style temperature sensor for my car you know the one that sits on the intake manifold it appears the one I have isn't working.

I had the Bendtsen conversion done on my car ( 1955 400 2dr hardtop) in 2014 and have not had a transmission issue since; compare that to three rebuilt 55 ultramatics that failed. As an added bonus the car has more get up and go and gas mileage than it ever had with the twin.

How about some pics of the car?

If you want a reliable BTV that stops on a dime like mine does now send it to Ross Miller in Parkton Md and DO NOT SEND IT to White Post in Virginia not unless you have a death wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
