By the way, my Edsel is a 1959 ranger 2dr sedan. 6 cyl. auto and it's a slug when pulling out from a stop and has trouble with steep hills. OK on the highway at 60 to 70 tops, but has a terrible ride compared to most cars I've driven on rough roads.

Thanks so far. By looking at pics on ebay and on the web, I've determined that the car is most likely a Standard Eight. Brown or really dark tan interior with green exterior. It's not Serpentine green. Can't remember the name of the other green for this year. It appears to have antique lisence plates since 1982. That's also the date of last inspection. It's at a car lot in Old Forge, PA. The car was in the "front row" 2 years ago with a $9000 price tag. Since then it has moved to the back row next to a dumpster do to lack of interest and getting some weathering. I asked about it yesterday and they said $3000 takes it. Is that a fair price for this model? Due to the worn paint and chrome, I'd rate it as a low #3 to a #4.
Did these cars handle well? I drive mostly local but sometimes get out on the highway for an hour or 2 at speeds of 60 to 75 tops. I know that todays' speeds are harmful to some older cars.

Hello. I was looking at a 48 4dr "bathtub" sedan in good solid condition. I'm not a huge Packard fan, but I've always liked that style. The car is mostly complete (I think...) and runs well. Missing the air cleaner and seems to only need tires, exhaust, a headlight and back-up light lens. Is there any peculiar problems and quirks to these models or any parts extremely difficult to find? I'm looking at this car as an occasional driver. I own an Edsel and I manage to keep it running and driving good so I'm willing to work on some challenges.
