I don't have a daily driver but I drive one of our 4 Packards often. Dave, that's the way we give out awards in Illinois. We save the best for last. We had a similar experience with our 47 taxi. My wife went to register the car while I was dusting it off and came back very upset and wanted to go home. She said we would have to compete in the hot rod class because they said Packard did not build taxis.I showed them the brochure from Packard of the taxi and they put us in the original class. When they passed out the awards the other three cars in our class all won a trophy and my wife was almost in tears. I told her that was what happened when you made the officials mad, you don't win. At the end of the awards we were presented the best of show award and I made my wife go to pick up the trophy.
All is well that ends well.
