It is finally together

After many years my 1936 Packard is together again, with the rust repaired, new paint, new black leather upholstery and new Stayfast top. All that is left is to paint the wheels and get the new tires on them.
It has taken me a lot of work to do all this, including a divorce after 46 years of marriage and 4 bouts with cancer, and compression fractures in my back, which slowed everything down.
Now I can look forward to driving and enjoying the car.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

Packard, nor anyone else, ever made a better car. And you picked a handsome and refreshing color.
