Wrong place or not, I had no idea that at one time there was only a single national Packard club. All the car clubs are suffering. The CCCA has lost regions as well.

There are structural problems like expense, the inability of do it yourself restorations, road speeds that make the cars limited use, and a falling standard of living.

I've lived in over a dozen states and am a member of a car club. In all those states only one local member ever called up to introduce themselves. That's not much of an encouragement to join a club. Heck, in the old days Bob Turnquist did time on the phone drumming up goodwill.
