I have Optimas in both my '54 Pacific & '54 Caribbean. I bought them from Bill Hirsh- [special deal for Packard club members]. Had a problem with one and he sent a new one as soon as I called !

Do you still have the original engine for this car, somewhere ? ..........Steve

If you can , store it with the old gasket around it so it doesn't chip or crack on the edge. Just my $0.02 worth ! Hey anybody - ever add up all these cents yet ? Must be a pile 'o dough . <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I must say , that's a beautiful car in the top photo - not to mention the incredible backround ..... watta house !!!!!!! ...............Steve

I stand corrected.... although I cudda sworn................... .............Steve

Hey Brad , $ 500k for a supercharger ? Not too bad - but for $650,000 I would sell him the only one in existence that I just happen to have - the Fred Duesenberg designed Turbocharger - It consists of a beautifully constructed round cage that attaches to the exhaust manifold , all you have to do is add a rat. you see , when the manifold gets hotter and hotter, the rat runs faster and ....well you get the idea ! ...........Steve

Amen to that brother!!! .......Steve

You got me ........... and apparently everyone else! Wot's the answer ? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ......................Steve

Hey Guy, You might be on to something there.........The rounded '48 - '50 Packards do look like modern cars of today . Just a mite too tall!!

Scott - Any Twin-Six from 1915 to 1922 would be great although the first year with the non- detachable head would give me great pause about workability.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.......Steve

By the way , I'll spend that much only if it's the supercharged version. Can't have the neighbors think we could only afford the regular Duesenberg !! ...................Steve

If you really need the money I'm sure my wife would let me open up our $12,500 rainy day account for the Duesey. Wattaya say? ........Steve

No I don't own a Twin-Six but if the price was right I would jump on it. And you say it cruises at 40-45 mph? I thought it would at 60 or so and have a top speed of a hair above 70. Is this correct somebody? .....Steve

Overdrive is the way to go in my estimation. ......Steve

Probably one of those guys in the backround could help ya I kid, I kid ! ............Steve

If you change to an 8 volt battery, unless you change every light bulb in the car your going to burn out every headlite, dash lite , tail lite , interior lite and any else that runs on 6 volt. If you have a slow turning starter motor at 6 volts you can have the starter modified [ easily ] for 4.5 volts which turns over like a new 12 volt car AT 6 volts. I have both my '54 Packards set up this way and as soon as you turn the key they start right up. !!!! Just make sure your tuned up good! .............Steve
