VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
Car was found under a carport, being parked there in 1972 due to a failed treadleVac brake system. I acquired it in 22 from the second owner who owned it since 196, and have tinkered on it since. The engine was seized due to the long storage and I have acquired another running packard 352 engine to swa
it out with. I plan to finish this car and keep
it for a long time.

Update:09/10/24- Car sold to a young man in Idaho.
Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
Car has the GM Oldsmobile automatic Headlight dimmer system installed from a Packard dealer. Evidently some Packard dealers would install the Autronic Eye system on their cars if requested by customers.
