Thank you! I'll give it a try. We trailered it to my new home in Grand Marais, MN; we'll be moving there Friday.

Here's the video.

Can't get her started. I believe the timing is off. I'm rotating the distributor slightly and trying different angles. There has to be a more scientific way.

The engine will crank, and one of two things happens - it fires enough to kick off the starter, and everything has to wind down before trying again, or it runs for one or two seconds and dies.

Ideas? I'll grab audio of it so you can hear.

Wow! 4,200 lbs. That's a lot.

What is the approximate weight of a 1952 Packard 300?

Thank you Howard. Do you have a picture of your friend's maroon and tan 52 2 door?

Thank you all. I've always been a fan of maroon. The gulf green doesn't do it for me. I do like blue as well. Was there a black option?

Looking at the paint XREF provided by BigKev on this amazing site, I see that there is no black.

The blue has metallic listed. Is that what you painted yours, Kevin?

otherwise here's the maroon.

Correct?

Request for photos of 1952 - 300s, 25th series please.

Of the standard color schemes for the 1952 Packard 300s, what are your favorites? What would you recommend? The black and tan I have now is not original, I believe it was green on green. I considered that but the family is not a fan.
