Re: Packard shopping, what do you think of this car?

Many observations. Pop riveted replacement rocker panel on the right. All the paint worn off the steering wheel--MUCH more than 40K miles. General decrepitude also indicates much more than 40K. The amount of floor rust points to problems with the stringers underneath. Fender skirt mounts are gone. This is the first Clipper Custom I've ever seen that did not have Torsion Level; I'd thought it was standard. The unknown item in hand is the transmission oil cooler. Perhaps it has been replaced.

I fear that this will be a too long and depressing journey to bring it up to a livable standard. What is the price?
