JT, I don't understand your comment that you "have seen a real aversion to modifying Packards". Because not all of us are interested in resto-mods or "dropping panties" does not constitute an "aversion". Has anyone told you that they don't like what you are doing to your car? My Packard has radial tires, halogen lights, and seat belts so I guess it is modified also and I won't be invited to Pebble Beach (darn!). What I won't do is install a big block Chevrolet engine and a Mustang front end etc. When I pass on that indeed may or may not happen but I won't be here to worry about it so in the meantime I'll try to keep it mostly original and the way I like it while I am it's custodian. There is a forum on this site for the discussion of modifications of Packards. The fact that the modifications forum exists demonstrates the webmasters tolerance for all aspects of the Packard hobby. Enjoy your Packard in whatever form you wish and allow those interested in preservation and restoration, to whatever level, the same courtesy. We are all here to learn and to help.
This site remains The Most Comprehensive Free Online Reference for Packard Owners in whatever form.
