Hi HA52

I've been following your persistent progress, congratulations on your successful maiden voyages and debut! If your cruise nights there are like those around here in western New York, if one Packard shows up its guaranteed to be unique among the cars in attendance.

So, the old-time ATF fluid with the oil quieted the noisy lifters: those old mechanics had lots of good tricks like that.

Grey Ghost looks great simply buffed out, looks much like used '50's cars I remember in daily use as a kid. For seat covers, if you can locate a set of NOS Western Auto Stores plaid saran sets in the red/blue/yellow combination with red bolsters would be ideal, look just exactly period.

Good luck and enjoy that rig!

Steve
