I'd like to see some engine pics and stories on the last "Packards" posted on here. Like what kind of acceleration they have, power, and performance in general. I'm interested in comparing them to my supercharged Packard V8.

I just found a '57 Packard Clipper in Emporia, Ks, tonight, anyone here know about it or want me to see if it's for sale? It didn't look like it was too bad a shape, and pretty complete from the outside.

Don't think it can be posted unless Kev gets permissions but there is an article in this months Skinned Knuckles on the 58 Packard and Hawk including a reprint of May 58 Hot Rod magazine performance test.

If they have the acticle available online I can post a link to it. If not I would need written permission from the publisher to reproduce it here.
