Personally I find taking the Car Corral road under Park Ave much easier than the bridge over, as I'm not good with stairs and the handicap ramps on the bridge are a bit of a pain. The bonus is the eye candy of the for sale cars along the way.

My 37 - 115C Sedan came with the ball hood ornament but I changed it out for what I was told was the correct for the year Goddess. Purchased it at the Packard Annual in Pontiac, MI a few years ago.

It got up to 9C here today so I got my lights down this afternoon before it started to pour rain...the snow level on my front yard dropped about 18" with the warm spell. Now just over two feet of snow left, before it goes back below 0 tomorrow afternoon.

This past year at Hershey I spoke with Anthony Pearson of Classic and Vintage Bulbs, his website is <http://classicandvintagebulbs.com/>

I just dug out the flyer that he gave me, he carries both halogen and LED bulbs for vintage cars.

He is located in Blackwood,SA, Australia, however he did mention that he had a distributor in the Metro Detroit Area.

I can PM his email if anyone needs it.

Its eight hours for me as well, my Nexus card should get me through the border without hold up.

I plan to arrive around 4 PM on Wednesday afternoon, check into my hotel, then go over to the Hershey Lodge to see the cars at the RM Auction. They always have a great group of interesting cars including Packards.

Thursday and Friday will be spent on the swap meet fields then Saturday at the show, camera in hand at all times.

Counting the days...

Dave,

Thank you for sharing, it makes me proud that the many Canadians both new and old put their lives on the line for the country. They were the foundation for a great country.

Respect is earned. I find if I'm wearing the Maple Leaf when I travel internationally it does make a difference.

I'm heading to China for a few days next week, I plan to pack my Packard jacket with a CDN lapel pin, to show both flags.

I remember that episode from late last year, one of the earlier ones this season. I believe it first aired last November or December.

They just finished airing all the season 16 episodes on the first go round. Depending on the channel they are on, an episode could be from any of the past three or four years.

The 30 - 733 from Niagara Falls (St Catharines) has been on the market for quite awhile, it is listed on Hemmings at $169,000.

I plan to drive down on the Wednesday, it's about a seven to eight hour drive, if the drive and weather are good I plan to visit the RM auction preview in the late afternoon. This auction has a great lineup of interesting cars, this year there are quite a number of Packards that are all beyond my means, but great to look at and photograph.

My plan is to spend Thursday and Friday visiting the car corral and the vendor fields. I'm looking for a few small items, nothing in particular, other than a wiper arm for my 37 - 115. I will stop a time or two at the PAC tent and visit the Packard vendors that tend to be in that area of the Green Field.

I'm also looking forward to the car show on Saturday, it is a highlight of the meet and always has a great collection of Packards.

Bob
