Re: Just like the factory, period correct, or owner preference?

To cut to the chase a little bit, I and some of the rest of us, think that Packard made some of the best cars ever built, and I'm not qualified enough to improve one. I'm much more interested in trying to figure out what they did in the first place, and why, than looking at someone's "improvements". The "improvements" seem to be all the same anyhow

I had a Saab 96 for a short while in the 70"s.. The two stroke engine toasted itself after a few months, which is what they did, so I moved on. I liked the car a lot.

Two years ago I saw an original Saab 95 Wagon at a cruise night complete with the 2 stroke engine. Apparently 2 stroke oils are much better now. As I was studying it, someone came up and said it would be really cool with a crate 350 in it.

I told him that after his friends put crate 350s, automatics and tilt steering wheels in all the old cars and made them all alike that no one would care about them anymore.

He agreed
