Re: A Tale of Two Patricians

When I got to my shop the last time, the Patrician wouldn’t crank so I put the battery on the charger and tried again the next day where it started right up and it started again a couple weeks later when it was ready to go back inside.
This time, not so lucky. Putting it on the charger, it quickly showed full charge but still would not crank so I had to replace the battery which is a Napa commercial type.
Almost time to put it back inside again but early yesterday evening it got snowed on. Here it is just beginning, but by this morning there was about 2”. Completely clear now, though and no more snow in the immediate forecast so my flight home on Thursday should be unencumbered by weather.
As odd as the car looks with the multiple colors, this is how it looked when it used to be an every day car and on many PAC tours although it had its wheel covers and parking light lenses then.
