Not only is driving your Packard the cheapest, easiest maintenance you can do, it also helps the resale value of all our cars and gives the name a posterity.
Clippy had his big day out on Friday: delivered a '53 block to the machine shop for boring, took me to some mountain bike trails, then to a favorite restaurant, posed in front of the Shenandoah PA Packard dealer, stopped at an industrial ruin to explore, then took me to a terrific farmer's market where I buy the best smoked chipped beef on the east coast, then stopped at Bob's Packard parts and picked up a water pump on the way home. All told, 290 delightful miles--and made many people smile and ask questions.
Just think: 6 volts. Points. Drum brakes. Single braking system. Freezing temperatures. Delightful. Packard built great cars.
