I am planning on going on Sunday. Any PackardInfo members going?

Unfortunately Rhinebeck always falls on the same weekend as the AACA regional meet at Florham Park, NJ; I often alternate and this year I'm going to Florham Park. But Rhinebeck is always a great show and flea market - enjoy and tell us about it when you get back.

Sorry to miss you! There are two big cars shows in Saratoga each year, so if you make it that far north, please look me up! I am planning on going to Hershey this year.

Fun show, didn't think as much of the swap meet. I did not do too much digging because I had my 3 yr old son with me, but I didn't see very many pre-war parts.

There were 4 Packards- a 1940 Darrin 180 4 door, a 1940 Darrin 180 2 door convertible, a 1942 clipper and a 1955 or 56 Patrician. Both of the Darrins were immaculate and had very pleasant owners. There was also a large contingent of Model As, and my son got a lot joy out of honking the a-oo-ga horn that one of the owners let him try. Of course, I didn't get any pictures, but I enjoyed it!

The weather was perfect. Lots of great cars to enjoy. Here are pictures of the Darrin's. The white one is a 41 and the red one is 40.
