To Gary Marshall:

I've owned/currently own Packards form 1924-1956 adn have worked on all of them. Would not consider that I "restored"
all of them but some I have gone end to end either myself or with varying amounts of assistance.

I would recommend you hold off on purchasing the '48, $11,500 for a car needing floors etc is an awful lot unless it's a Custom convertible and at that it may not be worth it.
With the economy suffering here there are some good buys, usually also in England

Rust repair is frightfully expensive and if the floors are bad the body structure may be bad as well. However if you're a do it yourselfer and would rather repair rust than fritter away your time at the telly or on the golf course it's another story.
