When we had the Nixon 55 mph speed limits things were a lot easier. My cheap modern car cruises easily at 90, but I don't because the tires are rated to 80 mph.

And I'm telling ya these Packard won't test anywhere near new on a dyno no matter how much money is spent on the motor short of rebuilding the Packard plant.

Why? Because, like your grandmother, they are worn and not as fast as they used to be.

I knew somebody who had a low low mileage 443 and that car was fast. It easily outran a high mileage rebuilt 840. Nothing from the period could touch it.
