That dash plaque from the 1973 PAC Meet was of great interest to me also. So I decided to contact the 1973 Meet Director and inquired if there was an extra NOS one that they would donate to the PPG. Here is the answer I received:

"That plaque was designed by me for the '73 National Meet (I was Tourmaster). We had 263 Packards at the PG. I called Jesse Vincent's brother,Charles Vincent, and asked for permission to use his signature on the plaque. I have the letter he sent to me, giving permission, along with his signature. They are made from stainless steel, with epoxy ink.

I have an extra which I will send to you, along with a copy of the letter."

Pretty cool!

Also pretty cool is that brown 1934 Twelve convertible sedan in the AACA meet photos. If I am not mistaken, that very same car is listed on the 2015 Lincoln Highway roster of tour cars.

First, the owner will be driving this Packard from his home in Virginia to Detroit where the tour starts at the PPG. Then it is another 2,836 Miles from the PPG to the final stop in San Francisco. Hats off to him!
