Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I was going to ask what it looked like now? - that's unbelievable!!! What a transformation AND an insane body of work... obviously YEARS of tedium. I saw a pre-war car yesterday, on display at a fruit and vegetable stand near where we live, and the poor thing is going to wrack and ruin, but the guy wouldn't sell it and when we chatted about what it would cost to do some of the needed work, he 'did the chicken' but wouldn't consider selling it to someone who WOULD spend the money. The car was unbelievably complete, with every piece of chrome and door handle in place. He bragged that he had had it for forty years, and I guess that's how these cars eventually end up in a field somewhere. Anyway, I digress - the restoration on that rusty bucket of bolts in the field is magnificent!! Hat's off! Chris
