Hi PA Patrician

Having to jump in late on your blog and with the problem being brake related at present, I just want to say, hang in there! The old folks did manage to brake these beast successfully! I struggled a lot with my car, but now that the brakes are fixed to 1950 standards i can live with it in 2012!

I believe that these Packards were "over engineered" for their time and should at least provide a decent brake performance. Mine does now after having learned a lot!

You will enjoy the car so much more if you know that you can stop it in time!

Regards
