Yes, I did cross over. I helped a close friend inspect and research the history on a rather important Packard. We ended up making the purchase. I must confess, the one that we landed would be most welcome in my garage. I’m going to be working on it next week to try and sort a few things out, and put some miles on it before we deal with some cosmetic issues. I took it for a spin last week, it’s a 1932 and when comparing it to my Pierce series 54 1932 coupe the steering felt stiff, but I think it just needs some TLC to steer better. Brakes are about equal to Pierce, ride is not quite as good. BUT I must admit the car is quite national treasure. It is a very wonderful thing. Before you ask……. it’s a 1932 Series 904 Individual Custom Sport Phaeton body by Dietrich. (Yes, the split windshield impossible to find model.) I wish it was going to keep my Pierce Arrow’s company in my garage……..but such is life. I will admit to wanting a Lincoln or Stutz to keep my cars company at sometime in the future. My bucket list may have a few other cars if funding in the future is available.
