Re: "The Packard Experience" at the Gilmore

I made my first visit to the Gilmore Car Museum today, this is an amazing place for any classic car fan to visit.

On a perfect weather day that was straight out of a 'Pure Michigan' commercial it could have been difficult to stay indoors if were not for the quality of the exhibits and the attention to detail of how the cars were positioned in all the halls. I was not surprised this evening to see that I'd taken over 400 pictures during my visit.

I arrived about an hour after the doors opened and left just ten minutes before they closed, as the saying goes a day well spent. A major highlight was when after a country tour the participating Packards and others began to arrive on the site. It was great to see about fifty Packards parked on the field in front of the CCCA museum and speak with some of the owners including members of this forum.

I look forward to seeing many more Packards on Sunday and pray that the weather gods hold the forecast afternoon rain until after the show is over.
