Fred has been notified. She thinks that it's a little steep.


I checked. The car is in our registry, too.


What do you see?

Or maybe their version of Fred isn't quite ready to part with it.

I was thinking more of a sheet of plywood as opposed to concrete.


Thanks for the tip/link.

The very one. Kinda two shades of maroon - the likely original bit and the repainted bit.


It did have cat paw prints in the dust on the windshield.

In a similar vein, my grandfather would have his front seat springs adjusted for a firmer feel/ride. He hated sinking into the seat. I know what he meant. What is the procedure to tighten the springs?

I have a tank out, and another still in the frame - the one with no body. I can measure those when I'm next around them.


One is a '47 super sedan and the other is a '47 custom. Wat will be willing to wager they're all but identical.

All things Packard this week: Went from VA to FL by way of GA. Company bird hunt in GA last weekend. Took this week off to go to FL to see the kids: son, D-I-L, and grandson. So far, no Packard. But wait . . . .


There's a '47 Clipper 6 for sale in eastern NC, so I went to see that on the way home. Two hours out of the way, one way, but we do stuff like this. It was/is advertised as being a driver. So you can imagine my surprise when I was informed that the starter/solenoid had crapped out on it. There was no listening to it run, and there certainly was no test drive. And there was no hint of budging on the price. Old Guy (selling because of advancing age and illness with son helping to market it) bought it for X and put Y into it and is asking Z for it, where Z is equal to X plus Y.


So, our hero Wat offered 80% of X and told them to call him when they don't find any other buyer. Wat has rebuilt starters. In KY. Go figure.


Your stuff is gold, but mine is lead . . . .

Funniest thing I have seen online all morning.


Yes, we may see some of these cars come up for sale down the road. Then again, who can predict what may come up for sale here in the next few months?


Just out of nosiness, did anyone posting in this thread bid on anything for sale? I did.
