Re: PackardDon's 1956 Clipper Custom Sedan

So by now, I have, all uninstalled, a nearly complete factory A/C unit for it, power windows and door locks with a reproduction harness, a nearly complete NOS grille, all trim, new plastic lenses all around, Torsion-Level and front suspension rebuild kit, all brake parts for the wheels (I still need to get a master kit), new front u-joint, NOS heat riser and so much more that the inside is nearly filled with boxes and parts. I also have a new interior reserved with a deposit and will get that as soon as I send in the old.
Also, the 7.60 X 15 AllState Guardsman tires that were put on so many decades ago, then left for the elements in my yard, were rotten. It took some years but I finally found a set so got proper wheels and had them powder coated in a generic red to replace the mismatched set on it and had the tires mounted. Of course, they are old too so not for road use but they look excellent for a car that doesn't even run yet. As a friend described it, it's like putting lipstick on a pig!
