Re: I need some serious advice about buying a Packard

Good advice from all of the above. I would like to add some more thoughts.

Do you have a place to keep the Packard? Having it parked outside and trying to work on it in the driveway will not do you or the car any good. It needs to be in a garage.

Some basic mechanical skills are needed to understand and perform maintenance, service, and repair jobs.

Also, it takes tools and equipment to keep one of these Packards running. A good set of hand tools is a must. Service and parts manuals are a must. Fortunately, many of them are available here for free downloading.

Join your local Packard region and national clubs. Members are knowledgeable and willing to share advice and assistance. Also, you will have the inside track on cars coming up for sale.

Buy the very best car you can afford. It is less expensive to buy one with work already done, especially body and interior.

Just some more things to consider when acquiring a Packard.

Good luck.
