Not too shabby. I have 3 of them in my back yard. I could use some parts off of your friends car.

Merry Christmas everybody.

I found a 37 Packard last month. Hasn't moved out of the garage for at least 30 years. I wish it was a Ford I would have taken it home with me.

I know a barn that holds a 1949 Packard, among other things.
