“I have owned this car twice, this time for 36 years. Bought the Corvette in 1977 but soon had to sell it (got married) to a close friend to buy my first house. He did not have a clue how to take care of it let alone work on it. As such, my friend basically destroyed the car within three years. The motor was blown up, paint was peeling off in sheets and a family of squirrels had taken residence. The

(OWNER RAYMOND FOX OF PLANT CITY)
Purchased the car on March 12, 1986, nearly 28 years ago. It is the 426th 300CD produced, built in October 1977, it is titled as a 1978. It now has 323,200, just a few more than the 60,000 it had when bought. The wheels have been updated to the Bundt style, from the steel wheel/hubcap configuration; the AM/FM/Shortwave radio has been replaced with a newer factory style, other than that in its original
It took Bob Burleson of Seffner two 1938 Packards to make this gorgeous 1938 Packard. Time to complete the build? Four years. The beautiful Packard has a sweet-sounding 350-crate motor. Add some Foose wheels to the stunning ride and you are ready to cruise. Hope to see you at some car shows soon, Bob.
