I was there with my 49 Deluxe Eight. My wife came with me this time and we enjoyed the hour or so ride to Shelby Twp. My wife did some early Christmas Shopping for me in the Gift Shop, a sweatshirt, dvd, and 2 coffee mugs. This was my second time and it was wonderful, as usual. The five cars or so owned by Richard and Linda K? (former owner of Lionel Trains) were just hard to describe. I took a few pictures that I will try to post. I parked next to a 37 twelve with a custom body by Brunn in New York owned by Mr. Golling. Drop dead gorgeous! In the non-Packard area, there were three 39- 40 cars parked together, a Cadillac,a Lincoln and a La Salle.
