Hey Guys!

I went to a local car show at a Texaco gas station last night. I had a great time and the car performed admirably. The brake issue I was dealing with is a thing of the past as they seem to be working better than they ever have. There were no issues even with the slow, stop and go "crawl", around the paring lot trying to find a spot to park. Of course I was the only Packard in attendance and got quite a bit of recognition because of that. The highlight of the night was a couple who came by and told me they used to live near the Packard plant in Detroit! it was neat for them to see a product of that plant in Texas, and it was really cool to meet people from that area here in San Antonio.

After the show, stopped at Sonic for some grub and then headed home. The only hiccup of the venture came when leaving Sonic. The engine didn't want to fire up and it seemed to act flooded. So, took the air cleaner off and tried again... Success! This car is truly a joy to drive, so glad I bought a Packard!
