I wish we could have gone at least for the opening banquet and the swap meet but I am not a PAC member and haven't been for decades.

The last NorCal meet in Berkley at the Claremont Hotel was amazing too and even the Packard Request was there as was a beautifully restored Packard Pickup done when new by Earle C Anthony. My 1952 Henney-Packard, which was all original, won best in class for commercial vehicles beating out the pickup only because it was not originally built that way. While I was happy to win, I didn't think my car deserved it. Originally in the running for commercial was a 1941 Henney-Packard ambulance in red but after it suffered a small accident damaging a rear fender, the owner withdrew it from judging. Even with the damage, I am sure it would have won over mine any day and I would have been happy that it did so!
