        Brians current ride (And that just turned 11.40 at Lebanon,on 7 cylinders) is a match to his dad’s original Ride. . . Heres his Mom back then at the old homestead with Dad’s car AND Brian recently positioned HIS Pontiac in the same place, for a NOW shot….pretty cool huh. Whats that saying? …”the Nut doesn’t fall far from the tree” Oh…a 2nd cylinder went bad Too,but out being fixed now.

                            Brian, glad you’re getting the repairs under way. That must have really surprised the heck out of you. Did you ever determine exactly what started the “explosion”? ……………..Mikey 😆

                                Mikey,I talked to Brian a few weeks ago at the ‘Valley’,the ‘weak’ link was the ‘stock’ driveshaft,the only thing that wasn’t replaced in the drivetrain.All in all,he had a positive attitude towards it all,and is very impressed with it’s surprising performance,and power! He’s motivated,and as the saying goes,”I’ll be back” !!!!

                                                        Either way… you answered it. 😉

                                                        I thought that might have been a Hudson Terraplane but you called it out as a Packerd.
