DFD

Back in the day (Mid 80s) my old man agreed to store a couple of Packards on our property for a drinking buddy of his...... They were not in great condition to start (Major surface rust) but they were cool as hell. Unfortunately the guy never came back for them and they deteriorated so much that I believe my Dad eventually just sold them as scrap. They had rectangular flat 6's

I just test fit my ramz and they just barely fit on the MKZ. I should probably get small spacers and centering rings, but the first autox up here with >40F temps is this Sunday so I'll probably just run it ZFG.

That's....wow.

There's enough life left in the tires that I can probably run them at autox for the whole summer up here as long as I swap them at the events instead of driving on them on the street. Total tire cost, zero dollars.

I swear the stock chrome must weigh 12+ lbs more than the ones, it's nuts.

Hey Max. Just wrap it.

Nothing will break in the first 5 years or 100k miles.

It’s bigly profitable especially for the typical consumer that buys Hyundai/KIA’s (appliance vehicles). Most Hyundai/KIA owners have no clue nor would they care to have a clue about cars. They just want it to turn on and drive.

Don't we all, ?

Actually now that I think of it it was likely a Straight 8 but it was all engine block and flat on the top

Packard held onto the straight 8 way too long. Well into the 50s when everyone else was introducing more powerful and compact V8s. They finally came out with a V8 in the mid/late 50s, but it was a little too late at that point.

6/41 in PAX today. Definitely need to do the brake pads and sway bar.
