Thank you
The gentleman that was the caretaker of the collection that restored this car recently saw the car listed and reached out to me. He is the one that sent me the pictures during restoration. Here is the message he sent me about the car: This gorgeous Packard was part of collection I was caretaker of in Fort Worth. We purchased the car in Mineral Wells, TX in good condition and performed a total frame off restoration on this car. My work included all the wiring, batteries with custom made cabling. I did all the brake work, everything brand new. Awesome car. Won a best of show award at the downtown Cowtown car show Fort Worth. Restoration was completed in 2018. It was a no expense restoration. The chrome bill was just over 20k. The running boards were restored by a gentleman in Canada at a cost of 7 grand. The very best.
@TonyMontana – Can you please cold start the automobile and drive it showing stick shift function and turn signal etc! Thank you! Tony Montana! ...
I will send in a cold start video and have them add it to the listing. I do not have anyone here with me to film while I drive so I'm not sure how I can do a driving video. The car is not equipped with turn signals.
