Karl, it would be great to have all information together in one blog. Start it and don't feel obligated to fill it with new sensations every week.

Mal, the way you are is one reason more for me to be part of the community.
BTW I really miss Wade's Workshop.

Randy (Randy Berger) once explained to me the 1956 Twin Traction differential. Since I read so little about it, I suspect that this is also a rare option.

Earl, your car, your decision. I wish you much success in making the transition.

...My estimate is that Packard sold almost 150,000 cars with Treadlevac as it was a popular option. It was also installed on many other makes including Continental and Mercedes.

They work great with a very short pedal travel in normal driving. In an engine-fail emergency, they are no different than any other vacuum assisted power unit. You have to press hard. The only weak spot in the design is that they will not tolerate dirty lumpy brake fluid.


Ross, which other brake system tolerates dirty lumpy brake fluid? I would call it improper use rather than a weak spot in the design if a brake system fails due to unusable brake fluid.

Mal, Dave walked past us, unimpressed by our circus. He had the home advantage because Mr. Babinski runs his business in the immediate vicinity.

Karl,-> this 1924 Packard has undergone a sympathetic mechanical recommissioning under the supervision of Mr. Babinski. Please take a look at the leather door panels.

Karl, I'm convinced that West, Gary & friends have up-to-date information, mine is 8 years old but comes with a 1925 Packard image.

Karl, type the following into Google:

artificial intelligence

We can like it or dislike it, but no matter how we feel about it, new technologies based on artificial intelligence are finding their way into our lives. The first steps may still be laughed at, but they are already showing breathtaking results. Suddenly I can form longer English sentences myself.

The images attached below were created within a few seconds by artificial intelligence (the grille's lack of the distinctive tombstone design may be due to historical amnesia rather than technical problems).
I asked the computer to rebuild and reopen the Packard Motor Car Company and the last image shows a "photo" of a 1942 Custom forgotten in a flooded basement.

Sounds reasonable to me.
