VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | I had been interested to add a 5's convertible to my collection. It was coming down to a '58 Buick Limited convertible or the Caribbean. That Buick has a lot of chrome to take care of &am although it borders on garish, the Packard won out as its understated &am majestic presence really stands out. pImmediate prior owner was a car collector &had car for 1 years. At least 2 owners before him, from Iowa. pTo do list:Clock, heater &am courtesy lights not working...yet. Spatter paint trunk as flocking has worn off. Waiting for Spring to check to operation &am post better photo. Took 2 months for the driver side window to wake up. Subsequently it leaked. My project for Winter 214. | ||||
