I remember driving down I-24 on the downside of Monteagle, just west of Chattanooga, in the fast lane in the 1930 Packard 734 when I heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. It was the right rear tire.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I am also going to add a couple of those reflective triangles and a couple of flares. I blew a tire, at night, on I-10 a couple of months ago. Of course, it was the driver's side. Wow, was that exciting!
Cheers, Tom

Packard Club and Classic Car Club Directories!!
Voltage Regulator electric fuel pump floor jack (trust me, don't bother with a bottle or scissors jack) Also, I highly suggest in addition to a fire extinguisher... ... a few two-liter bottles of diet un-cola sodas. If you have a bearing fire, which you probably won't, these come in extremely handy. Shake them up and squirt onto the area. The fire extinguisher will put the fire out, but won't cool the grease and will start right back up again. The diet soda will quench and cool. It has to be diet, though, as there is no sugar in it. Also, directions to my house as I'd love to offer you a place to stay on your way through. If you dip on down to I-70, you go right past Dayton. It's a good place to stop, as there is a pretty nice Packard Museum downtown. Or, you can stop by here on your way back to Texas.

Extra set of points, and perhaps jumper cables or a battery charger. Also your AAA card if you have one!

The de facto meeting point has been Randy Berger's '56 Four Hundred (Eire Green over Dover White).
IIRC, Randy's price of admission has historically been a poke in the ribs.
