Ive seen the Monroe car before. We got a he!! of a deal on ours for the price they are asking.

Id love to have the 55 in Apple Valley seill a lot higher than we paid for the running car.

Hey steve. this is in your neck of the woods. though i am more of a 51 jr. admirer than you

Hi Rusty

Yes, I noted that Patrician in NJ, even responded to the ad, as usual with CL, no response from the seller yet.

If the NJ car has "the usual rust", I'd rather pay the transportation cost to get this '51 Patrician:

Or, maybe this '53 Clipper Deluxe, repaint it immediately!

Had I the bucks, this '54 Convertible project:

Maybe this '54 Clipper Super is more realistic:

You know what gets my Goat. Remember that car show / reality show a couple years ago when they would buy cars to 'flip'' and there was this nice 52 200 four door light green and the guy ''flipped it'' for six grand after he put five in it> actually i know the real story those shows are scripted and the true cost of that segment and car was more like over 20k. those ''mechanics ' worked for free on the show. but not in real life..

i hate it that people still 'flip' cars especially Packards I hope somebody does not try to buy this 51 black 200 in SAC City to flip. I would want somebody to buy and drive and enjoy.

But i guess i am a soft old heart divulge of reality in this cruel world

I remember that show. They were showing four different groups of car guys in Texas that kept buying cars at auctions to fix up and sell. But, the work they did on the cars was usually minimal and any paint they sprayed was a really cheap spray job and not likely to last very long (kinda like those Maaco paint jobs I remember them advertising years ago).

I've seen the same thing with Chip Foose and a few others where they do really miracle work in a week or less. That just does not happen in the real world. At least some of the restoration shows they have on now, like the company in Canada, show you that it takes months, and sometimes years, to do them right.

Thanks for the memories and I agree with you completely!

Happy holidays to all,

Owner of the 36 "roller" is delusional. Does anyone here think it's really worth more than $200 or so?

Don't know where the owner of the 54 Patrician got his "only 1730 built", he's off by just a bit over 1000.
