After a 38 year slumber, the Parklane is back on the road! I picked it up today -- had a used cross member welded in place of the old rotted ones er the winter and had a C-4 installed with a Flat-o-Matic kit. I must say, a car that has been dormant this long shouldn't run as good as it did, especially enduring all those Minnesota winters untouched (indoors, of course).

The inaugural ride was about 60 miles. The car has a lot of zip and kept up just fine, even on the interstate. It tracked down the road smooth and straight and the steering felt pretty tight. The exhaust is in poor shape so it got a little stinky in the cabin.

I'll be back for more advice - exhaust and hopefully a little wider wheels and tires next. Thanks for helping us get this far!
