Good luck, take your time, and buy only the very best example of whatever you land on.
I certainly agree with this opinion, even though I don't agree with su8overdrive about the V-8 Packards.
In 1999, I bought a very good example of a 1955 Patrician that recently had been painted and engine/tranny overhauled by a competent Packard knowledgeable shop. I still ended up replacing the BTV and engine oil pump as well as adding front disc brakes, etc.
I've restored many, many cars over the years and it is far, far easier to deal with a good one than something worse unless it's a special model, like a Caribbean.
