Re: Adventures with a 1955 Clipper

I took the Clipper on its first extended drive on Sunday. I drove it to the Cars and Coffee event in Leander a small community about 25 miles northwest of Austin. The car now starts easily and runs nicely. The Clipper received much attention (the only Packard on display) and was the recipient of many nice comments. I found a small oil leak that I thought had been fixed, and there is a slight stumble above 50 mph. Otherwise, the car drove and rode as a Packard should. It was a mixed route of freeway and surface streets and roads. This is much different than when I tried to take it to the event a month ago. I guess the garage demons have decided to haunt some other garage.
