Most Custom Clippers I have seen were factory-equipped with over-drive, meaning they'd cruise nicely between 75-85 mph and "top out" at WELL over 100 mph.

Trouble is, as nice as our Packards are to drive on long trips at extreme speeds, the risk of damage and vandalism is something I am no longer willing to accept.

Think about this - how often will you want to take that georgeous car out on LONG trips, where you will be parking in UNsecured places?

Think about this - how many really fun events will you skip because they are too far, or the weather might turn sour, or you are worried about stones flying up from poorly maintained roads, trucks etc.

I paid about seven grand for my three axle trailer (three axles go thru tires a bit faster than two axles, but give a much smoother ride). With the three axle trailer, I can now range far and wide to let the public see Packard Power. Just came back from the coast and a truly magnificent car event I would NOT have come to, had I faced driving my own Packard on So. Calif freeways.

Think about it. A box trailer with a spring loaded tail-gate would be FREE after a few years of enjoyment of events you'd otherwise probably skip.
