The three Packard's you have posted pictures of here are very nice cars indeed.

On what dates are these three Packard's owned by Mr. & Mrs. Gallatin going to be on Horsepower TV. I watch Horsepower TV on Sunday mornings,( when I have nothing else to do), and it seems the only car that might appear on the show would be the Gallatin's 53 Packard.

The Clipper that the Gallatin's bought and you people did over seemed like a pretty solid car that you started with.

These cars are owned by Johnny Garrott From Gallatin TN. After last car show all three cars were invited to be on HP TV. The producer and I had a talk at show and by phone and filming is scheduled for March and or April. The cars will be used as intro's to Cortney Hansen starting off The Power Block show. The producer asked if I could come up with more cool cars and we have since finished a 67 Vette Convertible that I'll purpose to him. He wants more cool cars out of the ordinary cookie cutter type. You Doubt me Packard53??? All any one has to do is e-mail me at morganal61@yahoo.com and I'll send pic's of all Packards in various stages of restoration and talk freely about how I have been promoting Packards.

By the way the 53 Clipper(if you read my story in Pic's) was a pile of crap. The motor was blown up. The mice ate the interior for many lunches and when it came back from sand blaster there was alot of rust repair. It was solid if you wanted a rusted rat rod! The 53's Name is Grease Ligthing. Laugh if you want but I would challenge any Packard to a run down the Interstate or around town. The Owner Johnny Garrott like's it.... Our 53 is Bad. Hey Packard53 is yours?

OOOOOHHHHH!! An internet showdown!

Now, now Gentlemen. Lets not start waiving appendages here.

Here Is OUR MILL!

tried loading a pic and was not able to. I'll try later.

Packprince: So you call your 53 Clipper Crease Lighting. Let me asure that I have had the privalage of riding in and driving the original Grease Lighting or the Bat Out Of Hell as I like to call the auto. The car I am talking about is a 1967 AC Shelby 427 Cobra. The REAL MCCOY no dam kit car. One of the fastest production cars in the world, at the time it was built 0 to 100 to 0 in 14 seconds.

Great! I am a true Ford Fan at Heart. The baddest motor made Is An FE 427 Side oiler. I love The Cobras. But I was talking About Grease Lightning the orphan clipper. Want some pic's of my drag racing tire burning 66 Ford Fairlane with FE Power?

Thanks for the offer of the pictures. Great Classic cars of the 20's & 30's and the custom body builders of that era are really my true interest.

I don't know if my 53 Packard Cavalier is bad, but it is completely stock with the original engine in it that is still in running condition.
