Good observations Owen. I have owned cars from the 50's,60's,70's,80's & 90's. Each has a different feel, and its own quirks. My '77 Squire wagon has very touchy disc brakes that will put you through the windshield if you are too heavy on the pedal. My '88 squire has good disc brakes that needs moderate pedal pressure. Forgetting which car your in can deliver disasterous results (my wifes Thanksgiving yam casserole, 2 pumpkin pies, & deviled eggs sliding from the back of the wagon and slamming against the back seat was evidence of this. Thanksgiving 2005 is immortalized as the year my wagon killed dessert.)

I have yet to drive my Packard, but hope it is merely typical of other '50s cars I have owned.
