Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Hey Gang,

Well, the latest member of the fleet arrived today. After a couple of conversations, I am now the happy owner of markincoosbay's 1951 Packard Patrician. Mark and a friend arrived at 1 this afternoon from Roseburg with the Patrician on the trailer.

The unloading went well, and she is now sitting easy in my garage. I'll be doing my own work on this one so I will begin a blog as soon as I have something to blog about. And yes, I will try and remember to pause and take pictures as this plan goes along.

I'll be adding all the pertinent info in the Owner's Registry before the evening is out.

This will keep me off the streets this Winter - and Spring and Summer and so on and so on.......

Jim,

Have marked markincoosbay's Registry entry as "SOLD".

Looking forward to both your Registry entry for the Pat and your Blog as it progresses.

Jim for including your newly arrived '51 Patrician Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry.

My pleasure!

Glad you are pleased with your new Patrician. It was bittersweet for me. My wife assures me that this isn't my last Packard. I am equally as please with Jim's 1960 Imperial that he owned for 40+ years. We both have lots to do.

A brief moment to honor the passing of a car I really loved and thought was going to someone who really wanted to restore it. I received a call from a friend in the Imperial community last night to tell me that it is now in a salvage yard in Springfield, OR. So I guess the pleasure wore off real fast.

There is a flip side of everything I guess, and the flip to the old saw "Let the Buyer Beware" is "Let the Seller Beware".

I'm sorry baby, you deserved better.
