Thanks, namesake!

When in Dayton, please call. I'll try to make it down to the museum in my 1940. Or, let me know what time you plan on being there.

Also, when you're in Ocala, Florida, you probably shouldn't miss spending some time at National Parts Depot (NPD). The absolute nicest guys in the business. They don't offer Packard parts, but they have one of the largest collections of postwar cars on the planet. They just bought an all original 1947 Packard, and I believe they have a 1955-56 Caribbean as well.

West,

I fly into Dayton Monday 8th October with arrival scheduled for 10:36am. My probable plan is to pick up my rental car and go to the Museum arriving about Noon, the opening time. Would be good to see you and the '40 there and, as I warned previously, you(and the '40) will be photographed!

Quote: West,

Should be able to get in a quick visit before I get to the Garlits Museum.

If you are interested the least little bit about vintage airplanes, Dayton is home to probably the world's best museum for that sort of thing. Free admission, too. I warn, you though, you need to spend more than a couple of hours there, but if that's all the time you have, I still suggest at least a quick walk through.

Mal, sounds like a great itinerary. I'm looking forward very much to meeting you at Hershey, probably at the PAC hospitality tent on Thursday but I'll be in touch before then to confirm.

Mal, looking forward to your visit. See you in Fort Lauderdale!

West,

Yes I do have an interest in aircraft. When I was in Washington DC on my previous visit to the US in 2007 spent a day at the Smithsonian and in particular took in the aircraft. But...somehow I lost all the pic's I took that day so all I now have are memories and not mementos. I had pencilled in the National Museum of the USAF at Wright-Patterson AFB for a quick "look see" in my original plans. But I may not be able to squeeze it in, in the time frame I now have available, because my flight plans changed and I'm now arriving later into Dayton.

Dave,

Looking forward to meeting you, and hopefully many other PackardInfo friends during my time at Hershey. Will be in contact beforehand so we can tee things up.

Joey,

Fort Lauderdale, you, your '48 Super Eight Touring Sedan and the Packard Museum, should be a great day!

Since starting this thread I've been in contact with Dave Lockard the self described Editor, Mailboy, Custodian, Staff Reporter, General Gopher of the Packard Truck Organisation. Unfortunately there's no Packard Truck Organisation Website yet but Dave is looking to remedy that in the future. Dave has also very generously offered me a ride on the back of his '20 Packard Truck, which I accepted with alacrity! Even better it's when the cars and at least one truck, weather permitting, enter the show field on Saturday. Dave usually has a group of folks that sit in the back of the Packard Truck as he drives it onto the show field. The pic's below were provided by Dave who said this "...the '19 has the original 'patina' (surface rust) and...a mechanical driveline restoration only..." Love the 'patina'!
