nope..you are wrong...NOT ENOUGH SAID !

You werent listening. Your religious beliefs will NOT pay bills. Restoring cars is HORRIBLY expensive.

Just re-chroming alone could cost well over TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. What about replacing abused engine, transmission, drive line parts ? What about replacing missing body and interior parts ? Getting dash instruments working ?

C'mon...THINK. I will BET you, given how many TENS of thousands of Packard 120 series cars were made, at least ONE of them, EXACTLY like what you want, can be found in decent shape for a FRACTION of what it would cost to bring back to life some hulk that its prior owners didnt care about.

Wouldn't you really rather have a somewhat tired but serviceable car you could drive and enjoy, that would be like the one your family had, then have to haul home something that someone else ruined ?
