VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
font sizeMy brother found this car for me. I've been looking for a post-WWII Packard for a couple of years. I live in IL, but the car is in CA and will stay there to avoid the midwest winters. Overall, the car is in pretty good shape. Needs some chrome work, carpet, trunk liner (looking for repro), and some interior detailing. Replacing the freeze plugs and will repaint the engine to original specs. Plan is to clean up/detail the engine compartment when the motor is out/font font sizeand probably go ahead and replace the motor mounts. Left rear vent window has small leak, so will be replacing weatherstripping.

Paint needs to be wet sanded and rubbed out. Biggest appearance issue is the pitting on the chrome.
