I want to say thank you to HH56, Home away from home, and Rowdy. I'm amazed at the response. I may even turn into a mechanic with help like this. Thanks again guys. Once I get the brakes fixed I plan on working to get the body in mint condition. I was reading some forums on mixing oil, marvel, and road diesel. Is that something I should be considering being I just bought a car with 39,000 miles and I'm not sure what it has been through?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm new to the site and I will be trying to get pictures for the registry.

I recently purchased a 1955 Packard. I am having problems with the brakes not working. Seems to be losing vaccuum. I looked at the manual and assume that the brakes are the easamatics which according to the book use hydraulics and vaccuum to operate the system. I'll be honest I don't have a clue when it comes to cars but I enjoy the older cars and I will learn hopefully with the help from the experts on this site.
