Brandon--great looking car, and Welcome. I was about your age when the Packard bug bit me. You car has a very high serial number, making it very near the end of production. My car, like yours is a single-color paint scheme. When I decided I liked cars of the 50s and wanted one I always envisioned a typical two-tone car of the day, turquoise and white, light green and white, etc. (actually some of my earliest automotive memories are of the 50s cars still on the roads in the very early 60s).
We're here to help, and many of us have been up this mountain before. PackardV8 and Randy Berger are very knowlegable on the V8 engine. You are going to love the T-L ride, there's nothing like it.
