Welcome PackardDon to FCBO!

Just getting back to work on my 1965 Imperial LeBaron which I bought when it was still relatively new back in 1972. It was eventually parked untouched for over three decades so needs much to get it going and presentable again.

Location: Terrebonne, OR

Welcome. Do you also have Packards, as your screen name may suggest?

Hello from Minnesota. Sounds like a fun project, feel free to post some pics of the car.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Actually I live in San José, California but my shop and cars are now in Central Oregon (high desert at nearly 3,000' altitude and very dry) where I am currently for a couple weeks doing a major rearrangement of cars. Since the Imperial needs more major engine work than expected, I'm putting the car itself aside temporarily but had a rolling dolly made for the engine so that I can work on it too while the rest of the car is not in the shop area.

Yes, I have Packards too and also a 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. I'm down to "only" eight vintage cars after having 22 at one point! My 1965 Imperial LeBaron was and is a California titled car and it was in California that it was stored for all those decades, not even including the decade it's been here in the new shop. My Packard / IMPERIAL page which has been online since the later 1990s does have quite a few photos and albums of Imperials including some of my own and there are also lots of Imperial parts in the Classified Ads. Anyway, I will post some photos once I get back home as I have very limited access here, being virtually off the grid.

Thank you all again!

Nice webpage. I've only looked at the Packards so far. Very interesting

Thank you for that! I don't promote the site much so the kudos are good to hear. I have new, more modern programming nearly ready to upload but kept the same dated design since it works. One thing I want to do is to allow visitors to select either Packard or Imperial (or both as it is) at the start so that it isn't necessary to have a make of no interest in the way. The infrastructure is there so just needs the programming.

Not sure how to Thank! What does the link look like?
