Hershey - Day 2

Equipped with a working camera today but only just, it's almost impossible to see the view screen to take them, again entered the hallowed fields of Hershey. Not so productive this time round on the parts front but, on the other hand, met up with some PackardInfo Alumni. These included O_D Dave, GTO Jim, Fourpack Ole, Ross Ross(No that's not a stutter, it's just that the name wasn't changed to protect the innocent!) and MrPushbutton John. Note, I did meet John yesterday but forgot to mention it in my narrative, sorry John. Met most of these illustrious gentlemen in the PAC tent and Ross out on the field of battle, spaces C4G 19-20 in case you're there on Friday and would like to say G'day to him. Great to catch up with all the guys and put names and faces to them.

Ross provided some much needed support to a number of down-under Packard brethren whose wish lists were accommodated. Still have more parts to find but the pickings are much leaner now. Saying that though, I have my eye on a pair of rear windsreen strips for the '53 Mayfair, space xxxxx, I'm not that stupid, and much cheaper than Tucson Packard wants for the same thing actually only about a third the price! And some Studebaker hubcaps, shhhhhh!

But it's late and dinner is being served, BobW's famous cabbage rolls, so I'll post some pic's of the people and the day when I return in a few hours time.
