Cars and Coffee

There is a "Cars and Coffee" event on the last Sunday of each month In the small town of Leander, which is about 25 miles northwest of Austin. It is an informal event where participants can display what they drive. There is no judging or prizes. Just show up, park, enjoy the other vehicles, socialize and leave when you want.

I encourage those of you who have a similar event near you to participate and show your Packards. I drove the '47 Custom Clipper there for the November meet. It was well received and really stood out from the other vehicles on display. Earlier this year I took the '37 Six Convertible Coupe. To my knowledge, these have been the only Packards that have been there.

Upon departing from the event, a gentleman from Ohio came up and we briefly visited. He is in the process of restoring a '55 Clipper Super Sedan. We exchanged information on our Fifty Fives. I did not get his name, but let me know if you read this.
