Packard Truck Show - York Springs PA
Sunday after Hershey is Dave Lockard's Packard Truck Show day. Spent a couple of hours there in the morning, not long enough, having to leave "early" to catch my next flight. Nevertheless had a real good time, plenty of real friendly people, some Packards, some other cars and of course the Packard Trucks.
Greeted intially by PackardInfo member Rich, who was there with both his family and his Packard. It was his first Hershey too, spending a couple of days there before going on to the Truck Show today. His wife must be real understanding, she was there too together with their very young family. Also met another Packard owner, John and his wife Julie, who were there with their original survivor '37 115c Sedan. Then the man of the day Dave Lockard, a great guy, dispensing hospitality in spades including Packard Truck Meet hats. Hasn't left my head since I put it on mid morning, thanks Dave!
Then off to the shed, a big shed as befitting Packard Trucks. There they were, three trucks. An '18 restored Packard Army Truck, A '19 Packard Truck, unrestored. And a '20 restored stakebed Packard Truck. What a trio. Took plenty of pic's then it was outside again.
By this time three more Packards had arrived, two '40's, a Sedan and a Coupe and a '56 Caribbean Convertible. First met the owner of the '40 Sedan, Craig, who is a member here. Didn't get to meet the owner of the other '40 but did meet the Caribbean's owner Dwight. I'd seen Dwight in the PAC tent but hadn't caught up to him there, and I'd seen his '54? Patrician yesterday parked outside the PAC tent. Couple of other people I met were Gary and Raoul, from The Netherlands, no pic's. And a pair of Aussie brothers Bruce and Dick, who Peter and Ann Toet know, in fact they'd met up with Peter yesterday.
However by this time I had to leave, airplanes have their own schedule. Although I didn't know it then the plane was delayed by about 45 minutes. This gave me time to caption this album of pic's of the day while waiting. Presently sitting in the departure lounge at Philladelphia waiting to board a flight to Miami FL.
