Re: Getting folks involved with Packards?

My brother teaches auto tech at a local college and I have spoken to him about taking my Packard down to campus. Basicallly it would be a "show-and-tell" kind of thing.

That is because the student has a lesson plan/cirriculum to follow and NONE of the classes teach what is needed for our Packards. The students are there to work on modern cars with EFI, not carburetors. They work on computer chips, not a distributor. What we drive is Old School and the college is there to teach New School.

That is not to say it would not trigger some curiousity with some students. Some may actually want to see a distributor for the first time, but only to see what they need to put on the small block chevy for their street rod they are dreaming about.

My Packard will be in his school this spring when they do and open house as you have to start somewhere.
