Maybe I'm glad the previous owner swapped out my BTV brakes for some dual master manual brakes. I've never tried stopping while going backwards down a hill though. Also never tried to reverse with the parking brake on. I'm going to have to try that today.

That is what keeping these cars going is all about! Fantastic! There is no better result than that, well done!
The steps are perfect. I will have to lift my Mom in mine when the weather is warmer, of all the cars I have done it is this one that has really captured her fancy. It'll be top down to set her in so she will have to hold on to her wig! Wonderful post, I am so glad you shared it with us. Bob J.

A computer screen is as close to a Packard as I can get nowadays

Spec is 85-87 psi. Full choke is being used on cold startup. Full choke alone is not enough, it needs a push start and pop the clutch or completely block the air intake per the seller.

I can at least say firsthand that pretty much standing on the BTV pedal when rolling a car off a trailer via winch has no noticeable effect.

Sorry to hear that. I know this happened at daytime but it reminded me, when I'm driving at night I wait until it's pretty dark to turn on my headlights so that my brake lights are distinguishable for as long as possible.

DaveJr,
Presently, on the PAC Website, in the Members Only Classified Ads, theres a '50 Packard Parts Car for sale for $500. Could be a source of panels/parts to help in your repairs?

That's awesome! So glad that he got to take a ride again. I'm sure that was a great feeling for everyone involved.

Today was a really good day. My Dad has very limited mobility and uses a walker. A 5-in step is about all he can manage. I built a series of platforms that let him get into (and out of) the car.
This picture was the last time he was in the car back in 2004.  This was today…My Dad in front with me and my Mom and Kathy being chauffeured in the back.
