Oil Consumption

...and oil consumption on the Packard V8's is bad enuf as it is.

PackardV8, I find that comment interesting, I'd be interested in hearing what your experience with oil consumption has been that lead you to that statement? My own experience is only based on ownership of a single V8, a high-mileage (90,000+) 56 Caribbean which apparently has had no major motor work done, though one can never be sure of that without a teardown. I change oil every 1000 miles or so and in 14 years of driving have never had to add oil between changes.
