THe black '48 coupe should be interesting to enjoy with the vacuum advance line connected to the choke heat element.

Makes me sick.

Wonder who came up with that "joke".....

Makes you kind of wonder if he has driven old cars before or if there is enough vacuum at the choke inlet to actually work the advance. If the advance isn't working I wonder how the temp and a few other incidentals are doing. If the car truly is running well, advances must be horribly overrated and we can all disconnect them. Maybe the guy has figured a new way to make both items work. Just think how much money Packard and the other mfgs could have saved without that pesky manifold choke stove finish work.

CL curiosities:
Why since Craigslist is free, do sellers list more than one car on their posting?
Why when the car is listed as running well, doesn't the seller bother to drive it out of the garage into the daylight to take good photos?

Steve, I think a lot of CL sellers fit in the "you can't fix stupid" category.


I responded to a CL listing this week. It was posted for a day and I asked the guy when I could come and look. His answer: I'm in Alaska till winter, I can show you when I come back.
Why bother to post if you can't show it!

1947 Packard Clipper Deluxe Club Coupe in Brandon, WI. Seller claims only 21 of these are left...could that be true? Regardless, his $15K asking price seems steep for a car that needs a ton of work.
