hello again.
still looking 2 buy the 52 packard. will go pick up on tues.
the # is 2562 16140. so i understand that is a 52 200
but this car has 4 louvres. is it correct to assume that was an extra option the buyer purchased? or maybe added later.?
i am so excited about this car. i will let u all know after tuesday.
thanks

thanks for the info. and iff i buy this 52 i will def. register . i am sure we will get to know each other very well. wow. i am amazed at how much info is avail here. \thanks

well, if i get this packard you can visit and talk cars when u come to hawaii.

thanks for the info. i have looked at the care twice. and it is solid and sound. there is a lot of the work i can do myself. of coarse i cant do the chrome. on my second look the chrome did not look so good. so a complete rechrome of everything will cost. and this car has fins too.
all the emblems are good except the trunk lid. the 4 hub caps are great.
i did get a lead on a chrome shop close by. so we will see.
it is so exciting to think of all the possibilities.
thanks

BTW there are pics on hawaii craigslist

i found this fantastic site because i came accross a 52 packard for sale here in hawaii(big island) where i live. i have loved old cars ever since i can remember and have photographed them for a long time. not too much here in HI in the way of old cars though. at any rate i saw this 52 4 door for $55oo. i have been reading everything i can since i saw it. allmost went for a test drive but we put it off due to rain storm. the car has not dents, very little rust, sound glass throughout. all hardware and chrome is present. the car runs and is drivable. interior is in very good condition as well. i am told the engine was a new rebuilt in the mid '80s. auto trans
I DEFINATELY WANT THIS CAR but i hesitate because living in the islands shipping is always so high ,parts etc.
i think the price might be a bit high .....
do you guys have any advice.....?
thanks for letting me ask and thanks to all who have made such a great resource.
