'Miss Prudence' would like to wish all her Packard friends a very Merry Christmas and happy driving to everyone who lives far enough south to be able to drive all winter. Ernie

Good Morning all...'Miss Prudence' would like to wish all her Packard Sisters and Brothers a Very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year. May they all roll on for years.

Good Morning all...I wonder if removing the pins in the steering wheel and installing slightly longer pins from a piece of rod cut from a rod purchased at the hardware store? Sometimes, these old girls just want us to pay them some extra attention! Happy Holidays to all. Ernie

two thoughts...wire everything that you can to your security system and set it up remotely so there are no wires to cut. Cameras carefully hidden up on the corners of the building...hook it all to a very loud ear splitting horn! And regrettably....a good shot gun. Common thieves do not deserve to walk around among decent people...Ernie

Wow...You guys must feel like history detectives when working on some of these problems...sort of like 'Finding Your Roots'! I am impressed! Ernie

Congratulations, you guys really look like the American Dream! Ernie

Good afternoon all...'Miss Prudence' would like to wish all her Packard sisters and brothers a most happy Thanksgiving. Ernie

Good Morning...I'm a life long westerner and there are long distances on the western roads between even little towns.

If the old girl decides to stop and rest 50 to 100 miles from anyplace, you will need to be prepared to wait for help for at least a couple of hours before help arrives.

Food and water are necessary. Also, you might want to pre plan your route and see where the dangerous areas are. It is one thing to drive a barn fresh old machine around town, another to drive a long distance on flat ground and quite another to ask the old girl to climb mountains at anything like normal modern speed.

If you do this, remember to drive at 45 or so and do not stress the old girl. Even IF she is in fairly good shape...a long run at any speed above 45 might/will do damage.

Considering how long she has been sitting...at least one additional oil change along the way would be a good idea.

Actually, I agree with Owen and Dwayne that you will be money ahead by shipping/trailering the car home and then take the time to wake her up carefully and enjoy her. Ernie

Good Morning...The bottle is marked off in four ounce segments and that, is what I put into every tank, or two ounces into a half tank. I have used it for years and my engines tend to last.

As an example, I'm just selling a Jeep Grand Cherokee that has 261,000 miles and the engine runs fine. The running gear does need some work.

It seems to keep things well lubricated and many of us use it in the desert as it seems to keep the modern fuels from boiling in the glass bowl of the fuel strainer as soon as it does with only gasoline by itself.

Marvel Mystery oil has been around since the 1920's so it is either somewhat effective or one of the greatest marketing cons of the last 97 or so years. ERNIE
