Re: Random questions from a new Packard owner

Ken Packard, congratulations on your new Packard. These 115Cs are great little cars. I have a set of Diamondback wide white wall radial tires on my Convertible Coupe. They are mounted tubeless, and have given me zero problems. They ride and look great. Mine are Hankooks. I highly recommend them. No two tone paint on these cars, but some nice original colors from which to choose. Overdrive didn't arrive until 1939 along with the steering column shifting. Overdrive would help, but I understand it gets very involved to install on the pre-1938 junior cars. My Six will cruise comfortably at 55-60 mph. Here is a photo of the car. This site is the BEST place to find information on your Packard. Also recommend joining the Packard Automobile Classics (PAC) which also has a very good website and great publications. I am also a member of Packards International. They have great periodical publications. If there is a Packard club in your area, this could be a very rich source of information and social interactions. Also recommend getting maintenance, parts, and owners manuals. Most of them can be downloaded from this site. Good luck, and keep us posted. Do you have any photos?
