The Packard will always have a special place in my heart as the company originated and first started producing cars in a city about 15 min away from where I grew up (Warren,OH)

The Cobra sounds as good as it looks, it has a 302 SBF and a 6-Speed transmission. We went out to dinner with Pete after I shut down the studio and we could see the car from where we sat and the entire time we were there anyone walking out or walking in stopped and gawked at it. One lady ran her hand over the paint in a couple of places.
David was thrilled with the way the Packard came out, he brought his detailer Terry along and Terry tried out the Flex 3401 for the first time and love it.
Both cars look as good in person as they do in the pictures.

Cool. Packards have a very strong following in the collector car world. This one runs super smooth with the 425 Cubic Inch Caddy engine in it. I'm confident with the Cadillac frame, suspension and brakes it rides smooth too...
I see David at Gweed's all the time as he's always there showing his Packard, I think there's at least half a dozen cars there now that have been detailed here at Autogeek and another 30+ of the local guys have their car on our TV show...

Over the weekend I received an e-mail from David, the owner of the Packard and he talked to Blinky the owner of the 1948 Cadillac that was on Episode #4 of our TV show and Blinky says he would love to bring in his Cadillac for a Show Car Makeover.
The paint in the picture above and even on the TV show looks like it's in excellent condition but in person it's filled with lots of swirls and light oxidation, kind of like the above 1970 Mustang.
So look for a sign-up thread to be part of the team that does the makeover on this beautiful Cadillac.

This is a real 1967 A.C. Cobra I buffed out a few years ago...
