Hi Steve! Wow! I have received so much sincere, heartfelt, and insightful advice/guidance from forum members, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation. Thank you so much for adding your viewpoint.

Sadly, I've had a very sobering and reluctant "reality check" in light of the forum members' advice: I'll never own a Packard or any pre WWII because (a) I know nothing about auto mechanics, and (b) just don't have the financial resources to maintain such a car.

Since I've been a member of the forum, I have inferred from the responses and posts that most Packard owners are able to work on their own cars and/or know enough about Packards to narrow down what might be wrong with their car(s).

If something were to go wrong with a Packard I owned, I'd be up a creek without a paddle and totally dependent on finding someone to (a) diagnose the problem, and then (b) to fix it.

(Sigh). Oh well, it's still lots of fun to dream.

as always
