Re: Peterson's 1940 Packard

Yes. For the most part my interior is original, and not very well cleaned up yet. I've been spending all my time getting it mechanically where it should be for driving, and, of course, the exterior finishing I've been doing. I hope to give the interior a good cleaning soon, along with replacing the windows/weatherstripping, and getting the air conditioner working.

I talked with a gentleman at length who also had a 1941 convertible sedan.

There was only one other Packard, and that was a 1930 convertible coupe. I, too, was surprised that there weren't more Packards. Lots of Lincolns and Buicks, tho, and plenty of really rare other pieces that made the show very worthwhile to attend. There was also a CCCA meet in Minneapolis/St. Paul, so that may have stolen a few Classics from the AACA meet, but overall, there was a very good showing of some serious CCCA Classics.
