Dave, thanks. Glorious, sunny weather and Packards dominate the town. The blue Dual Cowl (pic #1056) 1914 Model 48 (pic #1035)* even has hexagons on the surface of the cylinderheads. But why do they always appear as a pair? Pic #1034 conveys the impression of a film set. Much better as the usual arrangement.

Dave, great photos and thanks for sharing. There are many that would look great in black and white for an authentic period appearance. I didn't see you Clipper in any of the photos, did you not drive it down?

(o{I}o)

I have been drooling over that 37 coupe.

Oh yes... Ohhhhh yes!!

Thanks for the comments. The weather was perfect, the setting for the cars was ideal. I love Galena and this was my 3rd visit to the town. My wife and I stayed at a delightful c. 1846 B&B nearby and the cars were magnificent. I didn't drive my car down although I now wish that I had since the temperatures were not all that hot. A 1925 Eight touring car was driven down all the way from Longview Texas but I guess I didn't take a photo of it (sorry). Here are some more photos . Please disregard the ugly old f**T standing next to the 47 Super Clipper. Enjoy!!
P.S. Gerd, The engine photo of that magnificent 6 cylinder engine IMG_1056.jpg belongs to the 1914 Model 48 IMG_1035.jpg

Received this by email ".....We are fortunate to be able to share in the adventure and the prize. When Robert E. Turnquist wrote "The Packard Story" he probably had no idea a wonderful Packard Model 143, 1925 Touring on page 14.....would come alive. The Granddaddy of all Packard End Line Eights.

As David says "I drive my Packard, Trailers are for Horses".
for that Nelson.

Does anyone know the owner of the red and black 900 coupe?

Tom

Image 1051 is the most beautiful car present that day, by far!

The '25 Packard continues it's journey home.

Zerth, I think. There seems to be at least a half-dozen or so 900 coupes known, maybe more. Who knows how many of the coupe-roadsters have been altered from coupes?
