Re: I need some serious advice about buying a Packard

I totally agree. The forum members here are among the best I have ever encountered on the few forums where I'm a member. Good grief, I've been on forums where the members were vicious, cruel, and often vulgar--and with little to no provocation.

All the advice/guidance I've received has been extremely enlightening and provided me with a much-needed reality-check. It is so easy to say--and in some cases easy to buy for those with the ready resources--"I want a Packard." But, there are the very real and practical considerations that must be taken into account, which this forum has brought to my attention.

My biggest error in judgement was trying to think in terms of owning a Packard the same away a person thinks of owning a modern car--just get in it and go. There are so many more factors to take into consideration when owning a vintage car. While this "reality check" has been a bitter pill to swallow, it has been most helpful and kept me from making a grievous and costly error.

as always
