Re: So you drove your Packard home

I bought my 1952 200 deluxe on july 5 2011/ I did not drive the car home to my house. the seller drove the car to my house after i paid for it so i could drive my car home. Man, it was great to see my car on the road, both ahead of me and behind me. what a sight. It also gave the seller one last drive.
When i got the car home i only drove it around my neighborhood. During the week i properly charged the battery and cleaned and replaced connections and 1 batt. cable. The car starts very well now.
Today a friend from work came over to check the car out. I took us on the longest drive so far. I drove on the highway, through neighborhoods and down around the beach and long the coastline. And a beautiful day in hawaii to drive your packard.. The car was great to drive. No problems and people really enjoyed seeing the car/ .
This car is so much fun to have. I am letting myself get to know the care slowly. First things first. And today was a First.
Aloha, and have a great Packard day!

again , i am so excited. i got the battery properly charged,new cables and very clean, thight connection(starter motor too). can u believe the car starts on half a crank. wow. this is so cool.
last night is read the forums and learned my packard has the ultramatic trans , so it has the 327 engine, not the 288. I guess this is good......
i am haviing a ball learning all these little things.
i want to do diagnostic tests b 4 i drive too much. i have lnever done this , but have been reading about it. found some compression tools and vacuum tools at sears yesterday. be nice to get an idea of the condition of the engine.
aloha, have a great Packard day!

the carpet is dark brown, the headliner and door panels are ivory, the seats are cloth ,striped brown. the car was restored in the 80's perhaps. and i noticed today a decal on the window , faded ; looks like it might be from a packard club. with a #. but it is very faded.
