My 1948 Packard that I used to have drove so well that you could take it down a washboard dirt road at 40 mph and not feel it. This was in a car that hadn't been driven for over 30 years, and didn't have rebuilt shocks, just added fluid. If you get a '50, it's essentially the same car as my old '48, and you will be more than pleased with it.

As for the "glow in the dark" dash, IIRC, they used Radium.
