VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
purchased from a gentleman that I would describe as a Packard collector (He had a bunch), it had 2 bent valves and would barely run but was in really decent shape otherwise. He stated that he had done an "amateur restoration" on the car in the early 90's, but was a super solid car to start with. Not sure if the cream color on is a factory color but he told me for a fact the roof color was not. It looks decent for a 25 year old paint job. I consider the car to be very high driver quality.
Currently trying to get the motor buttoned back up
after replacing the 2 bad valves and get it on the road. really just want to get it out and drive it!
