Re: Wile Family's Second Packard

I had the 400 out for a Sunday drive a month or so ago with my grandson tagging along. As I pulled into the parking lot of my son's apartment complex for a visit, the front passenger's tire blew, necessitating a tire change.
The jack and lug wrench that I had available in the truck proved insufficient for the task and I resorted to calling AAA road service. The tow truck driver who arrived was surprised at the vehicle and it turned out that he is an old car afficiando and the tire change took about five minutes and we spent the next 10 to 15 minutes chatting about classic and antique vehicles we had owned or worked on. It was a pleasant experience, although it didn't start out that way.
New tires for the 400 are definitely in the future before the spring driving season.
