Just a couple of thoughts to add:

1. The Packard Club does have an officer assigned to the "Tomorrow's Packard Owners" program and does conduct programs for them at National and perhaps other meets. They also vote among themselves and make one or two awards at National meets.

2. When I'm at a car show and I see some mom or dad hoisting up a child to look inside the car, if they look like well-behaved folks I normally offer to let the kid or kids sit behind the wheel so mom and/or dad can get a couple of pictures. Almost invariably the kids and parents are very gracious in their thanks, and I enjoy the look on the little one's face as he grabs the steering wheel and "takes to the road".
