1958 Packard

After 19 years sitting in a barn, I take my late father's '58 Packardbaker out for a spin. 1958 was the last year for the Packard name. Only 675 of these four tail finned babies were made in Studebaker's South Bend plant. It was entirely original when I started but it needed a full interior restoration. The paint, engine and chrome are untouched, except for a good cleaning.

@surfandsand2 It kinda does. I always thought it would make a "kick-ass" convertible.

Kinda looks like a contemporary Mopar product, namely a De Soto.Nice unusual car. Take care of it.

Nice old car but it sounds terrible. That - you know - loud "da- da- da- da- da- da- " sound as it runs. It's way too loud and doesn't sound like smooth power.

The appearance of the front of this car looks alot like the face of "Muddy Mudskipper" from the old Ren & Stimpy cartoon. -lol

Wow! I own one and it's the exact same color! Been working on it for 20 years. Ending and interior done, just finishing the body and assemble. Target 2015 to finish!
