Fred, finding a mechanic who doesn't need a computer to diagnose a car.

Same here. I am also trying to find someone good who is reasonably close. Aside from being lucky with the same upholstery guy who was young and just starting out when he did my other cars 25+ years ago, other trades and mechanics I knew then have moved to their next lifetime or had the good sense to retire. So many of todays people are totally lost without the computer and have never heard of a Packard -- much less want to work on one.

I grew up in Truth or Consequences and while I don't know what is there now, even then there were not that many good mechanics available. I did know a couple of them and one I sure wish was still around. There was one guy who could have given Gus from the Model Garage a run for his money.
