Yes, the convertible sedan is a '37. So many nice Packards; a friend from NJ showed his freshly restored '36 Twelve convertible Victoria and took a First Junior - it was parked next to Ralph Marano's '35 Graber. A large crowd around Dave Lockhard's WW I era Packard truck. Lots of other interesting and uncommon cars; an outstanding '34 Pierce Arrow LeBaron Twelve convertible sedan next to Marano's Graber, an entirely original '24 Marmon roadster and at least 2 Reo Royales - a seldom-seen CCCA Classic. Another wonderful Hershey weekend. I drove down to Hershey with a friend from Perth Australia who is in the process of restoring a 1900 Renault; restoring may be the wrong word choice, it's more like remanufacturing around a very limited number of original and useable components. Power train is a single cylinder upright air-cooled DeDion-Bouton engine and amazingly, a sliding gear transmission which I believe was an automotive first and patented by Renault.
