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

Short answer from two thousand miles away - no; from your description, I wouldn't want that car as a gift.

Sixty years in the hobby has taught me to spend the money to pay an expert to evaluate a west-of-the-Rockies car and have it shipped east. Living out here, the cars are just so much less roached out than eastern cars.

The other factor is late Packards haven't appreciated in value to the point one can't afford a better starting point.

Opinions are worth what you paid for it, your money, your decision, your car to live with.
