Re: If you are under sixty, how did you get interested in Packards?

I Sure will... the cool thing is, is that I still own those Buildings. In the back of the Malt shop (ran by my Grandmother Lilly Huff) I still have a bunch of Packard and Hudson manuals and shop books. Also there are at lest 3 cigar boxes of old "trade in" car keys, and a hood form an unknown model car still in the box.
I am still trying to get the 300 started... showing my lack of knowledge and excitement of getting the Packard here to Colorado a week ago, I ran out and bought a new 6 volt battery, threw it on and cranked away... with no luck, replaced the old wires, and coil... still no spark. downloaded the wiring diagram to start tracing a possible issue, and looked closer... the battery is in backwards. Yes... backwards... so I hope it didn't mess up something else. Tomorrow Ill be opening the hood and piddling under the hood again.
