Brian,

I'd like to see 50 Packards in the one place at the one time never matter about 100! I will see the Packard Museum in Warren next week when I'm in the US so I'll get see their collection at least.
At a recent Packard Club run here in Sydney Australia there were 7 cars, '33, 3 x '37's, 2 x '38's, '39 & '52 so to see 50 together would be fantastic. Also on 26th August there is a huge gathering of antique and classic cars at Eastern Creek Raceway, just outside Sydney, with the expected turnout of cars on display on the day being 1,500 of all makes and models. I'll take some pic's on the day of the Packards at least - more than just seven are expected - and put them on the Pictures file for all to see what downunder Packards look like - as most were fully imported just like yours I'd guess, except for any with Australian bodies.
Pity about the lack of a swap meet as these are very useful, not just for the nuts and bolts aspect, but also the contacts, interaction and information sharing that results from haggling and talking to the vendors.
