Re: Getting folks involved with Packards?

I've been involved with my old cars for about 35 years. I acquired my cars, appreciation of older cars, and my modest mechanical ability from having grown up in Pasadena, CA, and living in the San Bernardino area (Yucaipa, CA.). The car culture in the So.Cal., area is huge. I belonged to "Past Pleasures Car Club" in my home city of Yucaipa, CA., and I've been to 100's of car shows through out CA. However, that having been said, I always am amazed at an advertised car show that not only charges an entry fee for the "show car", but also charges the general population an admittance fee to "see" the cars on display. I believe this practice of charging to "see" is counter productive to getting the largest amount of people to see the show and becoming involved with the "old car scene".
