as the executive supervisor of the KoolKooojak Packard Pit Posse , i seat myself in a fold out chair while the marvelous marvels of my pit crew wrench away.


Richy the Wrench, head wrenchin wrench, would like to report that he and Wrenchy Rachel replaced all 4 shocks on the Packard.

Richy would like to report :
he installed Kayaba shocks KG 4503's in the front,
and KG 5517's in the rear (hahaha )

we bought them at the POMONA SWAP MEET!

our new wrench girl on the Packard Posse Pit crew. owowowo!!!!

wowowow thats so kool

i already "shaved" the handles (removed rear door handles)
they were far too clunky for my aesthetic.

but man that carrera panamericana racer looks crazy

u r nuts for doing that!! so kool .


Packards placed in that race thruout the 50's..... i think on this film brief, you can actually see a Packard running...... check it out

do the lead sled guys steal packard tail lites for their Mercs?
i thought i read that

that chopped Packard looks insanely sinister. ...

i am growing fond of my roofline, tho... because the car is slammed it has some low low pinache to it....

besides, as Pete G just said to me : why dont u throw some cash at the tranny (that doesnt sound right) before you worry about cosmetic surgery.

touche Pete

man!
them some mean lines!!!!

sleek .


i take it your guy is in MI

thats some serious re-fabrication goin on there.

sweet. choppin is on my list of possible to dos.... your car is inspirationsal for sure

wow

thanx aces ... solid!
the black one is boss ! i like the slant.



considering makin a slight mod like that, just to keep it interesting

that is an incredible history lesson

The Shenandoah was a fine airship indeed, prior to crash landing, powered by gentlemen, for gentlemen.

I must say my Packard bragging rights increased dramatically with this story.

Perhaps this blog requires an Atrtibutes section
or perhaps a Legendary Historic Packard Footnotes Blog


for this information, is what Packard pride is about

that, and lets not forget the very satisfaction of piloting a solidly crafted automobile.

yeah so no ATF in the Ultramaitc, just plain old gear oil did the trick.


been rollin smooth around Holywoood.


i went to Pomona to find some '51 Cali plates... and the cheapest I found them was $450 .

seemed a bit steep to me.

Then a few gearheads suggested getin new plates AND PAINTING THEM the color scheme of the '51 plate , which is gold yellow with black alphanumerics..

so i think i'll be going vanity plate, and painting them. whats the big deal. i'll ask my buddy on the LAPD if a plate mutilation ticket is worth worrying about.

maybe orig plates might end up bein the cheaper option


$450???!?!?!?!!!

yeah... so the answer is NO

Zero Packards at Pomona swap meet

the only Packard accessory was a lapel pin i copped for $4

but i got shocks cheap, lap belts (not sure I wanna put em in) , curb feelers, whitewalls,,,,,, and offered a deal on Packard wire wheels should i choose to go that route.
