Re: 22nd Annual National Packard Museum Car Show, 7-20-7-24

I had a chance to meet cortcomp as he took advantage of my invitation to give me a poke in the ribs. It's great to see young blood in the Packard camp. I also met Bob Powell (actually I met two of them) and I had bought some parts from him on ebay. Always good to put a face with a name, because as you know, I am bad with names. The other Bob Powell was from Florida. Both of them attended the dinner and awards show. I was sorry to see Brian had missed the show - we don't get many chances to connect face-to-face even though we both live in western Pa. I took some pics and will post them here. I had a pleasant day and lunch with Paul Teets from NC. He has his 1950 Custom convertible (one of seven known) on display at the museum. Disappointed at the small turnout, around 35 cars. This is considerably less than the normal crowd we got over in Packard Park, but Packard Park is not allowing the museum to use the grounds to park cars for the show. I hope these two get together and resolve their differences because this weekend was considerably diminished by the small turnout. Had a good time nonetheless with Jerry Vinarcik, Bob Zimmerman, Ted Bunnel and other new Packard friends.
Bob Lichty gave a great talk with slides about the Original Lincoln Highway and the fact he traveled it from East to West. He is going to do it again West to East - nice presentation, with the able assistance of his wife.
And, oh yeah, Best Other got a trophy for Best Postwar.
