Since 1962 it was stored in a farmers garage and never driven, I bought it from him last year (213) for $65. Two days later I started it and made some minor repairs. I have installed a newer radiator from a 1971ford truck (similar specs to the Packard's) and it has worked fine. I drive the car to school and work and have never had any problems I couldn't handle. It is currently getting rust work and a new paint job from a local shop.
