    Well, that was just short of an hours viewing that I can honestly say was thoroughly enjoyable. The laughs, the craftsmanship of repairs on the fly, the camaraderie between all was truly showing through. Michelle's dedication to seeing the sights on route was an extra bonus viewing for all...Well done everybody concerned. 👍

    If you are going to challenge yourself with this kind of road trip, these 3 guys are what you need to bring along. Each one has their own level of expertise and approach to dealing with fixes on the fly. Not many would jump into and drive a 1952 (anything) and drive it 2000 miles cross country. These three guys had an answer for every situation imaginable.
    Michelle is an absolute trooper too. She is the perfect balance for these kinds of shenanigans. That was fun to watch.

      @@johnhoward7298 In defense of Derek, that was one of his more reliable purchases, yet he probably let it go for a song. It is really elegant looking, with a lot of American chrome for 1952, although the lack of large fins will not allow it to slice through the miles as later 1950s model American cars will.

And lastly the playful caziness of Paul who thought up this challenging, character building real life adventure !!!!

    What I really appreciate about these adventures is that I’m encouraged to push my old vehicles further. My 1959 Chevy Apache truck has the original 235ci and 4 speed manual (w granny low). I used to be “afraid” to drive it further than 30-40 miles from home because I didn’t want to break down somewhere. The road trip videos convinced me that it will all be fine. I regularly drive it to car shows hours away now. I ripped my little all original drivetrain 1960 MGA 6 hours to Wisconsin and back with no issues this summer. The worst that’s ever happened is I’ve run out of gas.

    My Dee (Dad) had two Champ pickup trucks - a stepside and a fleetside. They are so kewl! Love it! Great Packard, too - this would be a dream for me - to wander across the country in a old car and all the adventures that go along with it! It would definitely remind me of my childhood in the 70's!

    Greetings to the intrepid 4!! from an armchair in Oxfordshire UK. Enjoyed the fun you had plus the fixes and lets face it they worked. AS for restoration it would be nice to see regeared and maybe a little NoX bottle fitted where the remains of the spare wheel was positioned. Happy days. Dodger

    Merlin continues to amaze me. Chad is the best sport ever. He just keeps going and other than a frustrated look now and then he's just good with it. Michelle is a trooper. Paul is comedy relief.

    l'd love to see a collaboration video of the unusual ' fixes ' from Matt, Rory, Robby, Chad, Merlin, Paul and anyone else . Paul's chainsaw to charge the battery story was a cracker. Merlin's fuel filter tank pickup is genius. Thanks everyone for a truly entertaining video.

    I’d have laughed if Derek had given Merlin a crank handle when he asked to start it… 🤣❤️🇷🇴

    High guys; I shure did enjoy this picture. A lot of fun was had by ALL! I enjoyed everyone. I am wondering how sticking a hose outside of the gas tank into the air helped anyone? If I did not know a good bit about autos,like millions out there ' DONT, ' I'd be up a creek with out a paddle!! Just an idea. I and millions of others would really appreciate and enjoy your produc- tion a lot more if we were shown more of what goes on. Repairs, sites going by and visited, buying parts, applying them! Not only watching stuff being repaired, but step by step applying them. 😅😂 GOD bless y'all

      Sketchy car, long road trip. I would be concerned, but not if I had the knowledge and skill and adaptability that was packed into that car.😂

    Packard's were great cars, they lasted forever they were too good, when they went out of business a cab company bought as many of them as they could they really held up a long time.
