1953 Packard - Vancouver BC Canada

Posted by VancouverCanuck On 2018/11/20 18:07:02

Hello, I haven't posted in a while. I am from Vancouver, Canada...my husband is new to working on cars and cannot get his 53 started. We have come close...it turns slowly and sputters and then we kill the battery. He is ready to get rid of it and I feel really bad for him that it didn't work out. I think he feels pretty defeated at this point. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a mobile mechanic in Vancouver, Canada or general area who might be willing to come have a look. I'd love to surprise him and get it started. I've phoned around but everyone wants me to tow it in. At this point hubby doesn't want to spend the money because he doesn't know if it's worth it. If I could pay someone for an hour or two of their time just to get their opinion that would be awesome. It's hard to even find mechanics that work on these type of engines. I've phoned around and no luck. It's just a thought and if we can't get it going I guess we will part it out.

Here's the link to our last attempt at starting.

Also, I apologize to anyone who has replied to my earlier posts to whom I didn't respond. I'm new to forums and I didn't check the box to be notified of new posts! I appreciate your help. Thank you!
