Re: How fast have you been in a Packard?

On I-95 heading south to Fredericksburg, VA in my '55 Clipper, I was averaging about 73 mph and at one point topped 80 mph. The engine didn't feel stressed at all, ran as smooth as silk. I can't verify the accuracy of the speedometer since the needle is prone to wiggling around at times, but I was keeping up with traffic for the most part. I have to figure that my car could definitely reach or exceed 90 mph.
