Hey SafeT - The roads in the '20's & '30's were made for upper speeds of 40 , maybe 50 mph tops. The Packard gearing was designed for the times !!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ...........Steve

Brad - Happy New Year to you - and everyone else !!!!!!!! By the way ....... I was contemplating giving him $3 mill for the Duesy - but he also wanted $50,000 for "each" tire 'cause they were filled with nitrogen by William Randolph Hearst himself , and that's just a little too rich for my blood ! ....................Steve <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any news at all about that Marmon ??? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .......Steve

No, No it was Fred 'cause E. L. Cord wanted to save on production costs by using a mouse - but Fred said it had to be a rat because a mouse couldn't handle all that torque !!! So Cord nixed it ! By the way this is all true , except for the part about everything.......... ..................Steve

Packardsforever - when you put your new Optima in , don't forget to jump your voltage regulator [ also known as polarizing ] or you might burn it out ! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .....................Steve

Absolutely drop the pan , It's not a big job at all - Mt friend had a '48 Hudson that had'nt been run for 6 years. He dropped the pan and found a dead mouse stuck in the pan's baffle. Think what that would do to an oil pump! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> And if he just changed the oil a few times the mouse would not come out cause of the baffle. By the way Geoff- I would find it incredibly exciting to try to bring a [ lovable ] beast like an old Packard to life !!! Great good luck and live long and prosper ! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ..........Steve

Really can't tell , not enough to see for me - but an interesting streetlight! Never saw one of those styles before ! ...............Steve

Could you ask them to move a little to the left ? I kid , I kid ! .................Steve

I've got a '54 Pacific also and I think if you take your spark plugs out you may find them soaked with gas which is not good for starting, it means your engine is flooded . You have to take out all the plugs and air out your engine before puttind in NEW plugs and attempting to start it again. Good Luck!!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ...................... Steve

Couldn't it be a 1911 White , which I believe made a few cars before going in the truck business? ............Steve

On second thought don't tell me ..........just for a minute I forgot I was married - please don't tell me or I'll just pine away !!!! ............Steve

Where the heck do you find these INCREDIBLE women? Do they all come from some town named "MECHANICSVILLE" or some such place??? ..................Steve

SILVERGHOST - That's a huge undertaking what you want to do and I tip my hat to you a dozen times! They are probably the most impressive bodies you could put on a car , bar none. With labor costs the way they are your going to be spending a Kings ransom , but being such an important undertaking you could take many pictures and write a book on it. I tell you I'd buy a copy !!! .................. Steve P.S. - Would you sign it for me ? ..............Steve

I kid , I kid !!! ............ Steve

There's a sale on now at Target stores for underwear. You might want to check it out!!! .............Steve
