Re: Do you have a daily driver Packard?

Mine is a driver....but I'm always a little spooked by the daily part. Use it when the weather is nice (not so &%#$# HOT).

Model is 5682 with Non-pushbutton automatic.

No major problems that I know of. Starts readily, runs well, drives well. I do have radials FWIW.

The worst thing I have had is an odd noise in the right rear area which went away when we put it on a lift and removed wheel and drum then put em back together.

Wiper motor is at Fickens as we speak. I can assure you from personal experience that RainX is not the same as working wipers.

Drivers window cracked; when the window was replace the track was reriveted....

This spring I had everything that could possibly be lubricated lubricated. All that odd interval stuff. Even had the radio lubricated, which fixed it. I have no idea why.

Longest trip this year was about 300 miles; no problems other than the voice from the gas tank constantly saying "FEED ME!"

This help?
