Thanks for all the feedback; I really appreciate it.

Acceleration couldn't be any worse than with my '50 Nash! Of course the tradeoff is that the Nash gets about twice the mileage...

I like to drive my cars - at least 400-600 miles a year in local driving - but one reason I'd like a postwar Packard is so that I have a car capable of a long distance tour if I get the chance.

If there's anything I need to watch for when considering one of these models, I'd appreciate a heads up on that too. Thanks-

Steve
