Congratulations Ross on a very appealing project. There are many of us with bits and pieces of Packards, not good enough to restore in themselves but worthy of saving. You have made a really neat roadster from A PARTING OUT car. I have a 633 in bits which I remember as a complete car in 1967. The founder of the Packard Club in Australia, Gwen and Eric Macrae had this 633 convertible sedan as a registered going vehicle. The only "apparent" trouble was that it had a seven passenger Humber "coachbuilt" body. The "Idiot" who purchased the car and discarded the body really did everyone a disservice. I have the remains of the 633 and what do you do with it? Your re-incarnation is great. I love the use and placement of the Packard instruments. Well Done Ross. Peter Toet
