John, unless I've missed something the Citroen isn't a True Classic and shouldn't have been allowed on the field. But I have always admired the Traction Avant for their engineering cleverness. On the other hand, I think your camera is a Classic.

Wow, who owns that LeBaron sport coupe? What gorgeous lines, all over.

Edit: I think that white Buick was at Glenmoor last year.

I'm a bit reluctant to give owner's names without their permission, although in the case of these cars I suspect it's pretty common knowledge and probably listed in the CCCA Directory. In any case I'll send you a PM with that info.

I guess I wasn't clear-the Traction Avant was a "spectator". Citroens are aggressively non classics, like Fords

It was painted in rather lurid 2 tone scheme- to my knowledge all post war Tractions were black

"The show was lots of fun. I'm trying to figure out how to get an Isotta into my budget"

That's simple -- sell some of those cameras...

Won't work-no Leicas.

Thanks for the photos. Two things, and I don't mean to be picky. Sorry if it sounds like it.
1. The "1932" convertible coupe is, I believe, a 1933 (unless someone has put 1933 fenders on a '32.

2. You mentioned that three of the LeBaron coupes are in New Jersey and one in Maine. One of the New Jersey cars has been sold. It is now located in Cincinnati, along with an authentic phaeton and an authentic boattail speedster. There are now two collections that have a complete set of authentic, original-bodied 1934 LeBaron customs, the one in Maine and the one in Cincinnati.

West, I knew as I wrote up the meet that if I made a mistake or was out of date on something, I'd have you looking over my shoulder to bring the current and correct info forth. And thanks for doing that - I do mean that. Nice that two collections now have the full set of authentic LeBarons. If you could send me a PM, let me know which NJ car was sold.

The LeBaron coupe that is located in Maine is one of many fine Packards in Bahre Collection located in Oxford Maine

Thanks John, I've visited the Bahre collection a few times, most recently after the PAC Danvers (Boston) National and toured along with his very original 1108 LeBaron phaeton at the Greenwich (CT)Concours a few years back, myself in a 36 Cord convert, and in the absence of reverse, first and third, doing my share of pushing! Not fun, a treat for sure but glad the Cord wasn't my car.
