Another standout was the green Packard in the car corral. Not sure what model it is,

I guess you mean the 34 convertible coupe? Curious car, has the radiator/shutter treatment of a Twelve (which was an option on all models) and a Twelve front bumper but from the wheel type (fixed spokes and lack of a rolled rim) and hub cap could be an Eight or a Super Eight, and it has Super Eight headlight & parking light lenses. Looks just lovely and I like the color but despite that I sure wish when folks spend that type of money on a restoration that they'd get the pinstripe details correct.

Another of your pictures shows a green/green & black club sedan, a 633 I believe, and again an attractive Packard but with with an interesting treatment - the radiator shell painted black rather than chromium plates and I don't believe this is authentic. Perhaps the owner's preference though what is often suggested in whispered tones is that the shell was in too poor a condition to be plated so it was worked with body filler and painted.
