My '51 Packard Clipper 200

As current state

 

Dare to be different. Whats in the future for this one?

 

Futur will tell... Bags is on the top of the wishlist. Just keeping the car running and enjoi it for this year will be cool. I'm takiing things slowly... It my first old rig!

 

You sound just like me, take it slow and enjoy it — fellow '51 Packard 200 owner.

Here's mine:

 

Bitchin! I had a 51 200 about 7 years ago. Very cool cars! Enjoy it.

 

i got load of fun when it running but i got little issue when it's cold.

 

like the car-also like montreal.

 

Yeah, mine doesn't like to start in the cold either. That's alot of metal in cold oil for that 6 volt starter to get moving.

 

got a brand new starter selenoid. hope this one will not dry the battery on 2 start-up

 

Ronnie, is your Packard a coupe or a 4 dr sedan?

 

Coupe

 

How hard it's suppose the be... To turn an entire rotation of an engine by hand?? Did have smoke coming out of my starter motor thing morning?? And i may think that my engine is the problem.

 

Just find out today that my #1 piston goes up and only moove down a little 1/2"

 

My dumb ass was mesuring how low the valve was droping... Thanks for your help my car running now i'm so happy!
