Re: I need some serious advice about buying a Packard

Wow, I have been overwhelmed by the sincere and kind advice/guidance I've gotten from forum members about the reality of owning and maintaining a Packard.

Many members have pointed out considerations I had never thought of, such as having some rudimentary knowledge of auto mechanics. On the plus-side, my mother has a large building on her property that once was an auto-mechanic workshop for the property's previous owner. As such, it is spacious and has all the fixtures in place for heavy mechanic work, in addition to a kitchen area and bar . Previous owners used host big parties. So, storing a Packard and having a place to work on it is not a problem. It's a lack of knowledge and $. While the former can be addressed, the latter is much more challenging.

I'm thinking I could network through this site to find what I term an "attainable car," such as the one you provided the link. Although, I am going to have to do a lot of self-talk to get away from wanting a pre War II Packard.

Thank you so much for you response. I appreciate it.
