Re: The "After Eight" Roadster

Have had some inquiries about the lack of progress on the After Eight--it was preempted.
Am turning 60 this year and decided to throw a week long bash for all my mountain biking buddies out in Moab Utah the first full week in Sept. Add to that a long standing plan to drive my 63 Lark convertible out there to enjoy the national parks with the TOP DOWN. So the 63 got a major campaign done on it from April til the morning I left on August 29th. All of those NOS parts I'd been sniffing out for 20 years were installed along with a minor engine overhaul, every rubber bushing on the chassis, new dash, top etc. Whew. But worth it. Drove 4800 pretty much trouble free miles in about two weeks.
For what it is worth, I would take a visit to the mountains and canyons around Moab over a trip to the Grand Canyon. Sorry for the non Packard content but thought some might like to know
