Gosh , Steve, that was 1975 so we were working on one of down periods for AMC. They teetered on bankruptcy many times. We studied several companies but AMC was our computer simulation.

I watch Fantom Works all the time. It is rerun all the time so you can watch your favorite shows more than one time. If you watch closely they will flash what day they are on. I have seen 147 days to as much as 9 months. They can do some jobs fast depending on how much work it is. I see lots of old cars in the back ground scenes that I would like for them to show but I guess they pick out the cars that have the most interest like Mustang or Chevrolet.

Thanks. I would have never listened to those investment bankers that talked the Packard board into the deal with Studebaker. Truth be told they are the ones that came out of the deal smelling like a rose.

I have the R9 overdrive. What caused those failures? What can I do to prolong life of mine. Car was serviced with all fluids changed when I purchased it in April. thanks Howard fro your reply.

Check out the"Fifth Avenue Internet Garage" for overdrive parts.Also 6 volt alternators. He also provides lots of information for antique cars. I have not seen this source referenced before.

Go to the main menu and select Packard Model Information.Enter your model 2275. Page down and there are recommended Items for your car. Print them all out. I have accumulated 3 ring binders of info for my 48 sedan. Ihave spent hours here learning about my car. With my knowledge I have told my mechanic what to do or where to look for a problem Not to many old car experts in my area. Good luck with the car. Those doors are too much.I guess someone intended to hot rod this car and gave up.

In the postwar era these sun visors were popular. I have looked at lots of Packards with this option but no two seem to be the same, even for the same model. Mine looks nothing like I have seen on other models of the same year. Was this usually an option supplied and installed by the dealer from other manufacturers?

Your comment brought back my last course in my senior year of business school taught by the Dean of the Business School. The class was divided into groups of five each and we became the Board of Directors for American Motors Corporation. Our job was to run and hopefully save the company. Our decisions were fed into a computer model and implemented and we received the results, cash flow, sales figures, bank balances etc. We could see our results weekly.We were either going down the tubes or saving the company. We were competing against other groups for a grade so we didn"t discuss what we were doing. We closed some plants, increase advertising with dealers, cut cost, etc, pushed certain models. Any way my group saved the company and won the competition. Great learning experience.

I recently saw the movie of this event and they used a Cadillac. Not even the correct year. I think it was white.
