Hank,

Anyone who will read my gas thoughts is OK in my book.

Getting a driver is mucho encouraged. That was the one criteria for me to get out my checkbook for a Packard, and it was harder to find a true driver than I thought.

And then it turned out to be less of a driver than I expected. Not even really roadworthy til the PB unit gets fixed! BTW, have you gone through your Crash-O-Matic system yet? This would be a great time to shop around for a rebuild or a do-it-yourself kit. If you rebuild yours yourself and document it as well as you have everything else on your '55, I might even be brave enough to give mine a try... but no, as you say, sometimes you have to look at how many miles you've got left on the ODO, and I'm a '57 model myself, blowing smoke and gas for most of the trip.
