Thanks Howard,
I don't know much of the car's early history.
When I got the car it was from a salvage yard.
Wasn't in too bad of condition other than a missing radiator.
The car had last been registered in 1965, I imagine the reason it was retired was the parking issue. Otherwise after changing oil, buying a used radiator, cleaning fuel system, adding a battery, car started right up!
Maybe the previous owner didn't bother with "recalls"?
The local Packard dealer was still in business in 1965 selling British Motor Corp vehicles.
