Re: Youngest Packard Owner/Driver

Welcome Deven! Hello Corey! I got my first Packard at age 17, so Corey has me beat. It was a 1940 110 for which I paid $400 in 1972. First thing I did was drive it in a shake-down tour. It burned 4-1/2 gallons of oil in 200 miles. An old-time cigar-chewing Packard mechanic with his own shop let me use the place and gave step-by-step advice so I could learn and rebuild the engine. I took it to college for freshman year and next year worked all summer to pay for a new Laguna Maroon paint job. Hope you have as much fun with your cars as I have. Sorry you have to sell your 110, Corey, but those late '40s Chryslers are very cool too. Good to know young folks are taking up the cause!
