I bought my 1952 about 3.5 years ago. It has been great fun and has turned into a serious hobby for me. I'm not an experienced mechanic so I rely on study and asking a lot of questions.
all and all I drive the car now and then. and when I'm in the middle of fixing something I may not drive it or start it for a while.
I got the bright idea to sell my daily driver, a 1994 explorer.
while I did this I considered selling the Packard as well. I still have not made up my mind on that yet......
so, I sell the ford SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE PACKARD EVERY DAY. WOW.
I MUST say it is a lot of fun and has been the best thing to drive that car more than just around the block.

AND IT HAS NOT BROKE DOWN ONCE!!!!!
PEople always ask questions about it. It is running real well too. Starts fast and no problems with vapor lock.
the funny part is this is one of the wettest spots in the U.S, and this is the real rainy season too. That is why I was checking to get the wipers to work at their maximum.
I think this is a funny story. now I have no wiper until I get the motor fixed. I will keep the windshield waxed. LOL
