The Concours today was very nice. Prefect weather in the upper 70's. There was a very nice cross-segment of Packards represented. Everything between 1926-1956. The were many Customs, V-12s and Darrin's at the show. The majority of the cars were from the 30's and 40's. Some of the 20's cars are very nice original survivors. I don't have the exact total of cars present, but there was probably close to 75 if not more. I just uploaded 129 additional photos for everyone to enjoy. For the Post-War clan, there were 53, 54, & 56 Caribbeans represented. Some Custom and Super 8's. A 1951 Derham, Mayfair, Panama, and just lots of other great cars.

Also, if you remember last week a few of us were discussing a '53 Cavalier out of Minn. that had some type of old aftermarket A/C setup on the engine. Well that car was actaully here. It guess it was sold to a gentleman here in Calif in the last year or so. So I took several pictures of the A/C bracketry setup on that car from different angles.

All and all, a very nice turnout. Hopefully the swap-meet gods are in my favor tomorrow!

Also meet Jim Wagnon (38Super8) and David Flack (Flackmaster) today at the Concourse. Very nice guys, and I am always glad to finally be able to meet folks here on the website in person. Once Chuck (Boro) arrives from AZ tomorrow, then I will try to get everyone together for a Pinfo group picture.

Here is a picture of a Carib to leave you with.
