Re: Is it possible to convert a 1949 car to power steering?

As a loooong time Packard owner, I take the power steering out of cars that come to stay at my house. The next red puddle is always just around the corner with those things--not to mention the clutter in the engine compartment and under the car when servicing. Even contemporary road testers mentioned they thought it not necessary. It will be cheaper and easier to bring the front end up to standard condition.

I have Diamondbacks also, and my 51 steers light as a feather. As mentioned, when parallel parking the car needs to be rolling as you steer, but who frequently parallel parks anymore?
