Thanks Ken and to all others for the compliments. I wasn't really looking when I ran across it but it's a really nice, solid survivor and I was simply fortunate to have stumbled upon it on Craigslist for a very, VERY fair price and listed by a very honest gentleman. It has a few issues that will need to be addressed but overall, I couldn't have asked for a car in better condition. I'm 59 years old now and I've owned and restored my fair share of classic cars for at least 40+ of those years. I'm passed the point of jumping on a basket case for several reasons including lack of time, energy, desire, and adequate facilities so when I saw this car, I knew that it was the one. I just finished registering the car so there's more information on it there and honestly, I had never considered owning a Packard but I'm glad to have one now...they're great cars and I'm happy to be back in a classic that I can enjoy and tinker with when it isn't being driven.
