Re: I need some serious advice about buying a Packard

You're a high school special ed teacher. The license alone required at least four years of university-level education and, most likely, two or more years of graduate education. Performing that role and retaining employment requires continuing education and an extraordinary amount of patience and commitment to your profession. If you can do all of that, you can learn basic auto maintenance skills.

Remember, if you follow the advice thus far given, you will spend your money on a nice, driveable example of a pre-war Packard. You shouldn't face huge problems and you won't need to possess all of the skills of an ASE mechanic or body-man. Learn the basics to keep her humming along and know when to come here for a bit of advice.

Please don't throw in the towel. I'm 38 and this is becoming a lonely hobby as too many of my peers (mostly college educated, no less) are just too eager to say, "I can't learn...."
