Hello,
There are a few things I have to do to make it drivable and presentable
but it is cleaning up nicely. I will do tires, check all systems and I do have to replace the top material. There is no dents in the body and no rust. The paint is original and way too nice to do anything but hand rub it back to shine. The headliner is still in good condition, seats original and not torn. The carpet is suspect??? The engine is free and turns over nicely, I haven't fired it up yet.The car shows 62K miles, doesn't sound like a lot but considering the roads back them it may be. The car was sold by Earl C Anthony Packard in Los Angeles, Ca. I have old registrations that go back 45 years, looks like it was always a California car.
This is my first Packard ever, I have always been in the old car hobby, or addiction, and most of all enjoy preforming CPR on one that has sat for a very long time. What a thrill when they fire up and come back to life!!! You can almost hear them say THANK YOU!
