Hi Ken

What year and model Packard do you have?

The only word of advice that I can impart to you as you embark on your move to upstate New York is....to bring all the solid body metal and pit-free trim with you from western parts cars....because there isn't any left here!

Know that the damp eastern climate ruins body panels, potmetal and chrome trim unprotected from the weather quicker than you can imagine. Anything that's preserved here has been garaged most of its existance or somehow avoided the relentless tin worms and chrome gremlins.
