Classic as daily driver

i'm considering buying a 1951 Packard 300, and intend to use it as a daily driver in new york.
i drive about 4000 miles per year.

the car is restored to mint.

does anyone know if this is unwise? is it practical to drive on parkway at 60+ mph? ok in winter? too prone to theft? can i expect it to be reliable? anything else i'm not considering?

It's a 1951 Packard... I would imagine if you drive it even 4000 miles you're going to run into some problems, especially on the highway and especially during winter. A car that old you have to expect stuff to go wrong or break. I recommend it as a sunday driver and get a different winter beater, especially since you're going to want to keep that classic car mint for resale purposes, if not that just to keep it looking nice.

thanks for you remarks, i appreciate

ah a classic car enthusiast.....not too many of those on here...good times and have fun in the forums!!
