Owen_Dyneto,
You are indeed correct sir. Corvettes, and all manners of Mustangs, Cobras and Shelbys were ubiquitous throughout the event. I inquired and one reason offered was that they were honoring Carroll Shelby's recent passing.
This 1930 Packard dual-cowl was stunning, awesome and it nearly made me breathless. The color of course drew me in like a moth to a flame as the saying goes. I stared for several moments and I looked around for the owner. I asked a BJ staff member if he was aware of the owner and he said he was. I at that point said to myself, WTH.......I pulled out my cellular telephone and scrolled to a picture I have of my '55 Packard 400 (I have no grandchildren as of yet). I explained to the fellow that I was a hopeless Packard automobile lover and would it be okay IF I WERE to cross the barrier and allow my pal to photograph me by this gorgeous vehicle. He smiled, mentioned that maybe one day I'd also own a full-classic and showed me the way. Well, maybe one day, maybe. Anyway.......here she is in all her splendor.
