Oh i agree that the seats, etc are super comfortable and the ride is honestly amazing in my 50 vs my newer stuff, i'm just talking about effort to keep it between the lines, no cup holders, no cruise and the like that i usually don't care about but would definitely take it's toll on me when in that car for 14 hours straight each day headed across country.

If you headed out and stopped and drove state routes and took breaks and ate meals, it's a blast. The wife and i did about 6000 miles in 2 weeks for our honeymoon in september/october. It was great and i have so many places i want to go back to, and i'd love to take the packard. (Hell, at the devils tower in WY there were 3 motorcycles from NE Ohio...has to be worse than any car!)

If i was in a hurry to get cross country, i'd have to take my 05 mustang out. Even shifting in it is SO easy compared to my older stuff. But as i'm driving around town mostly, it hasn't moved 10 miles in 2 years. Packard is way more comfort and way less "work".
