Home away from home

I hauled my recent rust bucket acquisition from the place Back East to the place Out West where my Packards (and Fred) reside. I stopped for fuel and food and when I came out of the store, there was a family inspecting my haul. They all vamooshed when they saw me coming. Oh well. When I'm going down the road, it seems to be the bikers who have the highest batting average of turning their heads to look.

That sideswipe could be repaired in one long afternoon with the aid of the Patrician rear door. Cut and paste. I know the folks that have the car and they and their restoration shop have a fine reputation.

As I shuffle through the stuff for sale on line it is rather plain that the supply of Packards vastly exceeds demand.

I notice this, too, both with generally plentiful numbers of cars for sale and the time on the market. Hell, at this rate, I plan to live long enough to acquire a couple of Depression era rides, the ones I drooled over as a pimply-faced teenager.

Dad kinda predicted this. Kids today don't what what a "Packard" is.

Nice Wat I didn't realize you were the one that picked that up.

Found another one selling for $100 under scrap value ($200 total) if you can drag it away...

Not my thing. Only reason I scored the '54 was the 359 lurking under its hood.
