I'm now a Pack-man

[Old Gold]

Packard that is. Posted a while back about picking up a 52 Packard. Well, here it is at last. Pretty clean for a MI. car. Now I just need to get that nice big flat 8 running. Maybe even put that in my 46 Ford P/U.....hmmmmmm. I am still working on the 46 too, I'll get my build thread updated soon.

Nice man!Are they hard to get parts for?

 

[Old Gold]

Suprisingly, parts are readily available from Kanter. Re-ring and gasket set for the straight 8 is only $130.00. Lots of trim and sheetmetal available as well.

Its quite ashame that the P-S label fell victim to the changing times. Had Geore Mason not died before P-S merged with Nash-Hudson, there may still be an AMC with us today, maybe even a modern "Patrician" or "Carribean" like your model.

Later
