Packard Forum Index » Shows and Events

On Sunday, September 17th there is a nice Car Show at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL.

This is an awesome park that was the former estate of the McCormick family. It contains their Mansion, fantastic Gardens, and the Big Red One museum. Around the Museum are tanks from all different wars. Cantigny is the name of a town/famous battle during WWI.

Here are the details on the car show and the website for the Museum/Park

I'm registered and will have the Clipper there. The event is limited to 400 vehicles.

Really good show. 400 cars in attendance and an estimated 8000 spectators.

Nicole decided she wanted to try to drive the Packard, so I let her drive it home from the Car Show. Video evidence:

Apparently the ratching on my P-Brake is not working. I'll have to see if the ratchet toggle is stuck, or slipped a spring.

Picture from the show..... Fall Colors have begun early here.
