Very nice indeed! That was my Dad's 1st car he ever owned and said it had the best engine of any car he ever had. ................Steve

Indeed, a nice Peerless as the pictures show. Can any more information be had about the details of it? ......Steve

Wasn't Polonium the substance used to kill that Russian that spoke out against Putin? .........Steve

Really nice car you got there ! A '29 Hupp is a real solid car - built like a tank. Good luck on your restoration. .............Steve

Hi, It would reaaaaaly help to show a picture or two, especially of the grill. .........Steve

Never mind .........I see it was already brought up. ..................Steve

And rest your elbow on !!!!!!!!!

I don't know how I missed this important bit of info, and I already knew Rolls-Royce paid Packard for the rights to use the Saf-T-Flex suspension, but twice now - in 2 different publications on reports on the new Bentley they mention it's engine design is from a mid 50's V-8 Packard. This is news to me! And I though I knew alot about Packards. Anybody else knew about this, or is it me with a box over my head all this time? BTW- It's now bored out to 400 cu. inches with 530 hp and 774 ft. lbs of torque - with, I may add twin turbos. I believe if Packard were making cars today they'd get that power without turbos !!! ..........................Steve

More like time and MONEY !!!

Interesting, not one smile. In fact they all look like their frowning. Maybe the drivers driving skills are not so hot, and they all know it?

Fantastic !!! A great video ! Steve

No wonder the Germans lost the war !!! Steve

He didn't try offering $145,000 ? Something's up with that ! Steve

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has an engine block for a 1954 Packard Pacific/Patrician that they want to sell? It's a 359 cu. inch engine. Or possibly know someone that has one and doesn't need it. A friend told me he remembered seeing in "The Cormorant News Bulletin" of a year or so ago of someone selling both a freshly rebuilt 359 motor and also a 359 block. I just wondered if anyone can remember who it was? My guess is he's in the club. Much Thanks ! Steve

I'm sorry, I just realised I should put this in the wanted to buy or sell section - my mistake !!

Can anyone please help me out? I have a 1954 Packard Pacific with a 359 cu. inch engine. It was running pretty good the last few years except for some smoke on cold starting and accelleration. My mechanic suggested doing a freshening - up with new rings and some minor parts. Well what a can of worms did I find when opening up this engine!! After finding the cylinder bore taper was not going to be fixed with new rings I was talked into rebuilding the whole enchilada. Now after magnafluxing the block non-repairable cracks have been found. So does anyone have or know where I can find a 359 engine block with no cracks that are willing to sell at an affordable price ? I never expected this and I always use my Packard to go to shows to benefit the needy - now I find I am in need. Thanks!!!! Steve Perry
