Cars with character and class, but built with lousy drum brakes inadequate for cars of their size and weight. If you ever buy a classic car it is best to install disc brakes (at least for the front), safety belts and a collapsible steering column for your personal safety. Otherwise you’re driving a great looking death trap. -Rj
ReplyDeleteRj - You have a very good point.
ReplyDeleteRj - Your right. I was 10 when that Packard came out. We had a 42 and a 50 chevy then.
ReplyDeleteNot to be melodramatic, but safety is an issue with classic cars.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in kindergarten (1969) our teacher had suffered injuries after being thrown through a windshield of her VW bug while in college in the mid 1960’s.
In 1968 one of my aunt’s was severely injured when she crashed into a utility pole after swerving to avoid a motorist who came across the centerline of the road. My aunts injuries almost killed her and she was hospitalized for months, her internal injuries were due to the steering wheel and column almost crushing her. Not to mention the horrible aftermath of accidents family has seen on the road going back to at least the 1940’s. -Rj
Rj - You are MUCH younger than me! I graduated from high school in 1969.
