54 Packard Convertible
I have one and absolutely love it. I have thought about selling a few times but I have pics of my son sitting in this car when he was five and later when he was 17 driving it. He now informs me it will never be for sale, lol.
The one big downside with this car is the hydraulic windows. I have spent a small fortune trying to get them to work.
The upside is it is one of the best driving and handling cars I have. I've had the mechanics completely gone through and the vapor lock is gone, it doesn't run hot anymore, it always starts right up...hot or cold. I have a new exhaust, gone through the complete fuel system and the correct size tires. It just floats down the road. Another thing I like about it is it's smaller than some of the other Packards and it's just plain fun to drive.
This is where you can find it on the weekends, making a run to the Snack Shack.
I hope you get one, you will love it. The tricolor red paint job doesn't bother me in the least or folks that see the car.
