Hello all! New 39 Packard Six Touring Sedan owner

Posted by autopat On 2015/4/16 0:10:35

A friend got this in a trade, and just wanted to get his money back from it, so I went and looked at it and was immediately intrigued by the styling, and the fact that it is completely rust free, and 80% done. I bought it, he delivered it to my house, and my wife absolutely fell in love with it! Now I have to finish a couple other projects to fund the build of this one for her. I'm no stranger to restorations, or modifications, or fabrication, but this is my first car older than late 50's. I've owned over 400 cars in my lifetime (I quit counting about 6 years ago), and I already have 8 cars, I really didn't need this one, but I couldn't pass it up for the price, or the condition of the car. I currently have a 1958 Opel Olympia Caravan (haven't touched it yet), a 65 C-10 short, wide, big window (have all of the parts for it, but haven't started on it yet), a 66 Suburban (had it since 93, have all of the parts to do it but haven't started it yet), a 73 Nova SS (85% done, will be painting it this weekend), a 90 4x4 Suburban (DD), a 2004 Focus (flip car), a 2010 Camaro SS (weekend cruiser), and a 2012 Enclave (wifes DD). I'll be the first to tell you, I'm definitely breaking new ground here, and I will have questions, and need tips, so I'm putting all of you experts on notice.... Stand by for some tech questions! Really looking forward to getting to know you guys, and learning more about this amazing car. If there's anything I can do, or help find in rust-free Arizona, please drop me a line!
