Hi Bobby,

I share your enthusiasm for maintaining a largely un-restored car. My 39 is just a survivor that I (and previous owners thankfully) have performed sympathetic maintenance on. Though my car suffered from some parts nabbing for other projects at some point in it's life, I have been fortunate enough to find and replace many of the bits. What is surprising to me, and maybe you have experienced the same thing, people seem to have interest in cars that are maintained originals. Many people comment on how interesting it is to see a 71 year old car still operable in a largely un-restored state. I bet you hear the same thing when you have your 54 out.

I really like original cars, but also enjoy following everyone's projects on the forum. As John said, there are varying interests, but everyone here likes Packard's. I think you will enjoy the site.

Jim
