Welcome to my "restoration" blog for my 1951 Packard 200 4-door sedan! If you came here for sound advice and help on how do to things right, you came to the wrong place! I am a total amaetur and never claimed to be otherwise. All that I have learned about cars has come from this Packard and others in my "fleet". Never took a class and never had a "mentor".

What do I expect to accomplish with this car? Not much. Most people would consider this a "parts car". It should not be on the road. I hope to change that. I want to keep it as original as possible. I am using it to learn about cars and body work. I know this will never be an award winner, but I hope to be able to at least drive it around again and make it look better than it did when I bought it. Should help with my welding skills too because of all of the holes in it!
