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

was reading all the comments,am interested in buying a 1940 Packard 120 car is great but went to sit in it and seat was loose moving back and forth wouldnt anchor,couldnt even get legs past steering wheel,then belly was there and wouldnt be able to turn the wheel to steer,was dissapointed right away not sure if I wanted to buy it now,asked consignment if they can repair it so I can at least fit in and test drive it,thank you all for helpful comments will talk to seller with helpful info, also am concerned about putting lead additive in regular gasoline,want the corect mixture,shouldnt burn just regular uneaded gas?

Just put regular gas in and drive. This has worked just fine for me for the last several hundred thousand miles all in cars 50 to 70 years old.
