Run to the Pines Car Show - Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ

My bride and I have returned to Tucson from the beautiful mountains of east central Arizona. All weekend long, the temps never rose above 72 degrees and when we rolled into our driveway the thermometer was showing triple digits.

The show was said to be over 500 cars and I think I saw every imaginable color possible for 55-57 Chevrolets. The Mustangs weren't far behind in truth too!

There were only two Packards in attendance, mine and a fellow I never met before. Mr. Jim Morse hails from the very small hamlet of Nutrioso AZ. Nutrioso is just a few miles from New Mexico. I photographed his car and it has an interesting history as the pictures will show. I also threw some in showing the 400 of course.

After posting the Packard pictures I'll post other cars at the show in a post behind this one.

I almost forgot. No joy in Mudville on Sunday morning: both Packards failed to win any formal recognition. Last year's winners, a '54 Hudson Hornet HT & a 59' Nash Metropolian were awarded first and second place again. The 3rd place went to a '56 Ford Fairlane HT.
