I think with any Orphan brand that hasn't been produced in over 50 years, which most of the folks under 50 that attend car shows have probably never seen, you are acting as the ambassador for the brand. Most people vote on cars that they relate to, always wanted when they were younger, or had one in when they were younger.

Frankly, in a general "strip mall" type cruise night/car show, then crowd is going to like Big-3 cars, from the 60s and up. With the exception of sports cars, street-rods, Tri-5 Chevies and super-finned out cars.

Packard are typically more appreciated in the Concours, and Orphan car shows.

For many years before I got my Packard, I had a "Fast and Furious" style Honda that I took to the Import Car shows. It was just a mild custom Civic Sedan, which was also my daily driver for 300,000 miles and got looked over at most of the shows for the flasher cars, but it was a great car that gots lots of great compliments, and I enjoyed talking to people about it, and seeing the other cars. It was never about taking home a tacky trophy that would just collect dust somewhere.
