Re: Wile Family's Second Packard

The Four Hundred's power brakes are now fully operational with the donation of the Patrician's re-built master cylinder. The car now stops on a dime, which is a great improvement. With the re-built carburetor the engine runs like a top.
Last night I took my lovely wife out for her first ride in the Four Hundred and we went to your favourite cheese steak/pizza shop nearby. The ride was uneventful except for the reaction from the folks at the pizza shop who simply loved the Packard. I am looking forward to getting the door panels and the headliner done.
I found that I need to replace the wiper switch since it does not hold vacuum. The wiper vacuum motor also should be rebuilt so the wipers work effectively.
Still, it is nice to have a driver while the Patrician gets its make-over.
