    Check this cool car out that Frontier Auto Glass did a classic car windshield replacement



    Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, United States. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last true Packard in 1956, when they built the Packard Predictor their last concept car

    Packard bought Studebaker in 1953 and formed Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The final "Packards" were 1958 Studebakers wearing "badge engineering".

    1946–1956

    By the end of World War II, Packard was in excellent financial condition, but several management mistakes became ever more visible as time went on. Like other U.S. auto companies, Packard resumed civilian car production in late 1945, labelling them as 1946 models by modestly updating their 1942 models. As only tooling for the Clipper was at hand, the Senior-series cars were not rescheduled. One version of the story is that the Senior dies were left out in the elements to rust and were no longer usable. Another long-rumored tale is that Roosevelt gave Stalin the dies to the Senior series, but the ZiS-110 state limousines were a separate design.[35]

    Although the postwar Packards sold well, the ability to distinguish expensive models from lower-priced models disappeared as all Packards, whether sixes or eights, became virtually alike in styling. Further, amid a booming seller's market, management had decided to direct the company more to volume middle-class models, thus concentrating on selling lower-priced cars instead of more expensive—and more profitable—models. Worse, they also tried to enter the taxi cab and fleet car market. The idea was to gain volume for the years ahead, but that target was missed: Packard simply was not big enough to offer a real challenge to the Big Three, and they lacked the deep pockets with which a parent company could shelter them, as well as the model lineup through which to spread the pricing.

    Toys never end...

    It's time... needed to be done..



    Engine is being rebuilt... Found out the motor has been swapped in the past. Parts were missing and things weren't done correctly...

    The oil cooler seals were a bit worn and abused



    I'll document more but got to check these out today...





    Only real difference when this is done is we'll go from 85mm pistons to 88mm pistons.

    We are complete..

    The engine has been rebuilt and runs great. Not 100% factory original but it is what it is. Bored out a touch so it's like 1641 CC's versus 1600....

    1968 Volkswagen Beetle


    One issue I have to figure out is why does the blinker relay "click" even when the blinkers are not being used while the engine is running.


    1968 Volkswagen Beetle

    Found references but it as related to newer beetles..
