Response: Thank you for your answer. I will let you know. Brian Carroll Here are the specs just in case that changes things: Number of Doors 4 Wheelbase 3226 mm (127 in) Length 5537 mm (218 in) Width 1981 mm (78 in) Height 1600 mm (63 in) Ground Clearance 191 mm (7.5 in) Length / Wheelbase Ratio 1.72 Weight 1875 kg (4130 lb) (10/30/2007)
Question: Sir, How soon do you need this fine automobile moved. I may be one of only a few people who knows just what a 53 Packard is. I have a trip planned for the end of Nov, and search out these type of cars to move. Please check out my profile, and stay in touch. Billy (2coinnuts) (11/1/2007)
Response: I appreciate your acknowledgement of the car! I am open to a transportation date. Brian (11/2/2007)
Response: Brian, It looks like I will not have to wait until the end of the month to make my trip. I should know just when I can leave in a couple days. I'll stay in touch, and let you know. I will do my best to make my bid worth your wait. Billy (2coinnuts) (11/2/2007)
Response: Thank you Billy! (2/3/2008)
Question: Brian, your ship request caught my eye, as the last car I restored was a '54 400 Patrician. Seafoam green. The owner lived in Clovis California. He had one other beauty, a '56 Caribbean coupe, that he purchased from Joe Carcione's father (the green grocer on TV in San Francisco) and I helped restore that one also. Good luck on getting yours to Texas, and pardon me for cluttering up the shipping board. Last I heard, the owner retired to Arizona. You may know him in Packard clubs. I cannot beat the price that has already been offered you. REGARDS....and "Ask the man who owns one" (11/2/2007)
Response: You are only one of a few who has a clue what a Packard is. I am in Texas and I just had the motor rebuilt. Now I need to figure-out whether to trailer it, ship it, or dare I say, drive it to Texas. That's for checking-in. Brian (11/6/2007)
Question: Brian, If you can just hold with me for a few more days, I will beat the other bids and move your Packard for you. Thanks Much, Billy (2coinnuts) (11/5/2007)
Response: No problem. (2/3/2008)
Response: Brian, It looks like I'm going to have a pick-up in Rialto, which is not too far from Moreno Valley, in the next couple days. If you will accept my bid, I could pick up the Packard and bring it back to my storage yard here in Lancaster until I leave for TX on 3-24-08. The car would be just fine, and I have 5 acres. Please let me know. Billy (2/13/2008)
Question: Brian, Your listing disappeared, so I assumed you got your Packard moved already. I went to Dallas and back to CA about a week ago, and could have carried it. Check out my latest feedback, and you will be able to see just where in TX that I was. Well, if you are not in a big hurry, I will be going back again the last week in March. My home base is in Lancaster CA, so I am not far from Moreno Valley. Please stay in touch. Billy Wilkins (2coinnuts) (2/2/2008)
Response: The listing should still be there! I need to submit three bids to my company to get them to pay. So March just might work. Thanks for checking in to make sure this is still active. Brian (2/3/2008)
Response: Brian, I plan to leave CA for Ft Worth on March 24th. I'd really like to bring your Packard when I come. My home base is in Lancaster CA, which is about an hour from Moreno Valley. I'll stay in touch, and I'm not too hard to find if you want to look me up. Thanks Much, Billy Wilkins (2/8/2008)
Response: I have corporate approval and can move the car at any time now. I don't have any active bids. Can you make another bid on this for me? Thanks, Brian (2/11/2008)
Response: Brian, I'm still on to leave Mon Mar 24th. I'm going to have a couple stops on the way, so it would most likely be near the end of that week when I get to Dal-Fw. I have one open spot, so please lock it in ASAP. Also, I could go pick-up the car immediately, and it would be fine in my yard until March. Thanks, Billy (2/11/2008)
