Packard built some magnificent cars, but none were more impressive than the remarkable Twelve. Seeking to shore up its position at the top of the American automotive pyramid, Packard launched its new V-12-powered flagship in January 1932 at the New York Auto Show, initially calling its new model the Twin-Six to evoke memories of the company’s first generation of V-12s, produced from 1915-’23.

Hot rodding as we know it began as far back as the 1920s and 1930s with the modification of vintage Ford Model Ts and Model As, the most easily accessible vehicles at the time. These were the original hot rods, the ultimate in cool rides. Hot Rods are a rich part of American automotive history. Even today, car nuts and thrill seekers are still swapping in bigger engines, souped-up transmissions, and a variety of other parts to make their classic cars faster and more powerful.

My AMC project car odyssey started with an AMC just like this one. I bought it out of a California grandma’s garage after she hit the garage door support one last time and gave up the keys. It was a 1967 AMC Rambler American, a car very similar to the refrigerator you see here. It was powered by the same 232 cu.in. six-cylinder with an automatic transmission and it also didn’t run.

While not a difficult process, it is imperative that the angle of the actuating rod from the clutch pedal to the master be as straight as possible.
