Although Saturday dawned wet and therefore no vehicles on the grass, some stunning Packards showed and I was able to put faces to some names. Met "let the ride decide" on the show field and we were able to exchange some stories and get to know each other. Saw Ole Book, Ross Miller, Rod Hobbs and Bob Teller again and had an enjoyable dinner Friday night with this group. I know I'm leaving a couple of names out, but memory fails - can I blame old age? There was an absolutely perfect all-black 54 Caribbean on the show field.
Some examples of very early Packards and a very interesting low-end 50's Packard that was very correct and exact in its restoration, except for the finned head and dual Paxton superchargers! A truly outstanding job overall.
A sour note was that swap meet vendors were told to leave the Music Hall at noon. I will not venture a guess as to why, but perhaps Joel can fill us in on the details. Great cars and good people made it enjoyable despite the rain.
Ole and others can add some pictures.
Mr. Book did get an award for his meritorious service and dedication to the Packard automobile. Read about it in upcoming PAC publications.
