(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.
