Well This Low Quality Camera is going to get a few more tries. This here is a trip to the Mechanics to see the 1952 Packard 300 Run. We have found out it needs a Fuel Pump and Some Brake work along with a third member for the rear rnd. I found a guy who sells a reconditioned complete third member i just do not think i am going to take it that far im looking at $875 plus the $500 or so to do the work with the stuff needed. So I really hate to take a car like this apart it has almost No rust and is damn straing and looks to be pretty orig on the paint Its a 1 or 2 owner i will have to check my files. I do alot of cars like this that if not for a lower quality camera like this i would never upload to Youtube so they would Not be seen. Hope you enjoy!!! If not I have Pleanty of fresh inventory coming up in the next weeks to fill up the new lot i will do 3-4 more of these type of little behind the scenes Reality type movies and see what happens Thanks for watching and feel free to call anytime Nathan Wratislaw at 406 544 6919 Also i have over 500 videos on my channel make sure and check them out...

From Wikipedia

The Packard 300 was an automobile built and sold by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan for model years 1951 and 1952. The 300 represented the upper mid-range Packard model, providing better appointments than the Packard 200 or the Packard 250 models. The premier Packard offered during these years was the Packard Patrician 400.
 
The 300 model was built as a four-door sedan only for both model years, and rode upon Packard's 127-inch (3,200 mm) wheelbase.[1] The car included the basic trim appointments found in the 200 and 200 Deluxe model lines plus tinted windows, robe rail for backseat passengers and striped interior fabrics. Exterior trim included full wheel covers and Packard's graceful pelican hood ornament. The 300 also received a wrap around rear window which it shared with the Patrician models.
 
Power for the car in both years came from Packard's venerable Super Eight engine, the 327-cubic-inch (5,360 cc) "Thunderbolt" inline eight which was shared with the 250 line. A three-speed manual was standard while Packard's Ultramatic automatic transmission was offered as optional equipment.
 
In 1953 the 300 was renamed the Packard Cavalier as Packard moved away from its strict numeric model naming structure. A total of 22,309 Packard 300s were built in the model's two years on the market, with 1951's total of 15,309 representing the high sales mark for the 300 model
