whats up Packard Peoples!

copped a '51 Packard in South Central LA for short money, and drove it home in the dark , no headlites, tail lites, turn signals , etc...

2 breakdowns and a chat with LAPD, i made it all the way back to hollywood! rollin tough!!! rat rod style.

still aint figured out if she's a 300 or a 400, lookin into that .
has Ultramatic tranny which hasnt shifted out of low yet.
i think tranny fluid is low. i hope

is there a Packard sun visor that will fit on this car?
whats the part name? any ideas where i can find one?

i think i may chop the top. any experiences with Packard chops?

she's a beast ,...... purrs like a kitten.
i'll keep yall in the loop. started electrical today. brand new hotrod wiring kit and alternator

any advice or tipz welcome!
thanks - kojak
