I went with a couple of the local Packard boys over to the Greenwich (CT) Concours d'Elegance yesterday. Not only was the weather better than last year and indeed nearly perfect, but the selection of vehicles was also IMO far better. I'll post some pictures over on PAC's forum and provide a link later.
Among the Packards of special note were a freshly restored 1911 Model 30, and Ralph Marano's 1934 Twelve convertible sedan by Dietrich. Others were a pair of Super Eight convertible sedans, 1937 and 1939, and a 1931 833 roadster.
The selection of non-Packards was varied and outstanding, makes included a very rare and original Brewster, Allard, Cunningham, Facel-Vega, Dual Ghia, Mercedes 540 SSK, Ford Model K, Hudson Italia, 56 Dodge Lancer w/D-500 option, a Duesenberg by Murphy, Cadillac V16 by Lancefield, Pierce Arrow 48 by F. B. Wood, Kisel Gold Bug, and may more. Also quite a collection of antique motorcycles.
If you're within driving distance of Greenwich and haven't sttended this event - make it a must-do next year.
