Bill (Choak) SOLD his Super Six?

Unknown

I'm glad to hear that you are going to move back into another Super Six.

I have vague plans myself to buy a circa 1920 Hudson 7 Passenger Touring

someday.



Concerning your 1923 Packard:



<< Parts..what parts..Hudson is easier to find and the Hudson owners are (or

at least the ones I've met) a lot friendlier and much more willing to help. >>



Gee, I'm surprised. I would have guessed that Packard, being the Gold

Standard of autos would have had a very active parts & owner support system

to keep those lovely ole' jewels on the road. Is it possible that Packard

owners don't drive the cars as much as the owners of more plebeian makes?

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a single Six Motor. Are there any other years

that you can use?



About his Willys-Knight, Bill wrote:



<< The W-K is a 28 great six 4 door sedan..a HUGE car with the wonderfull

buzzare sleeve valve engine. (snip) I have not driven this car enough to have

a feel for how it is on the road. Parts are about non-existant (however for

some reason there are currntly 2 28 great six sedans for sale in this

area!!!) >>



I would imagine the largest series Willys-Knight would be a car in the

Super Six class power wise. The sleeve valve engines were powerful, and

supposedly long lasting. I have heard, however, that a well worn example can

be VERY expensive to overhaul as the sleeves wear and the sleeve operating

cranks are all bushed and those wear too. All of that is on top of the stuff

that wears in a standard reciprocating motor.

Just between you and me Bill, and I know no one else is reading about

W-Ks on this list, one of the most drop dead gorgeous cars I EVER saw was a

1926 W-K model 66 Roadster resplendent in dark and light gray over black. The

owner said that the car is a powerful one. If I ever saw one parked next to a

'28 Hudson Roadster I would have a tough time choosing . . .



About this list, Bill wrote:



This Hudson Super Six group has NO equal... I wish there was such a group

for the other cars I own.........Bill >>



I gotta agree with you there Bill. The members of this list have really

shared their passion and knowledge. My hat's off to all of you! Incidentally,

should any of you see the need for a list like this one for other cars, it is

pretty easy to set them up. Email me off-line if you need assistance.
