i've been putting a lot of thought into it since i last posted.. i'm going to try my hardest to stick with the motor that it has. (until it dies.. which i hope it doesn't). it's not that i want my packard modernized, i just want it safe and reliable.

my next concern is the wiring. it's all original (or so i assume, because it all looks a million years old with cloth coated wires that are all falling apart). i saw a post about re-wiring, but i figured i'd bring it up again. so let me cut to the chase.

the whole car needs rewired. if i'm going to pull every wire and replace it. should i go 12 volt? OR.. check this out.. anyone know where i can buy the cloth covered wires? because, even though they fall apart, i think they look awesome, and have lots of style.

1 )switch to 12 volt? yes/no

2) cloth wires? yes/no


throw out some opinions and facts if you have'em!
