Re: Do you have a daily driver Packard?

I got a daily driver, it's a 2262. 48ish deluxe 8 touring sedan. I've got ac, abs, traction control, fuel injected 3.7l v6. .............................................................................................................................figured I'd let that marinate for a second....................................................................
OK my packard is powered my a 2006 dodge dakota chassis. I left the dash and front seats on the frame and welded my packard on top. So instead of spending $100k on building a brand new 1948 with 1948 engineering. I spent next to nothin' and built an almost new 1948 with todays technology. Ok you got me I haven't mastered the art of designing wipers but the rain-x trick has taken me cross county once thus far. Another benefit to my madness is that I can average about 21mpg. As far as trouble free, I've put gas in it, changed the oil and one headlight, don't ask. I've driven it just over 5000 miles in the past 3 weeks alone. I'm not joking check the "first drive in my new pack-rat" thread. I absolutly love my Daily Driven Packard.
