Packard Forum Index » General

I love the adventuring like packardv8 said. Cruising the roads looking for old iron tucked away behind barns and under tarps.

I really enjoy car shows because i love seeing peoples faces when i tell them that its MY car. plus i enjoy seeing the cars and showing mine. Im the only Packard at any of the local shows so i end up answering a lot of questions.

Plus, i just enjoy cruising to friends houses and around the towns.

MikeC. I don't care much for city driving, but try a little bit of inner city driving once or twice a year. Usualy during day time hours between 10am and 3 pm. U'll be suprised at what may turn up. Best to go alone.

Everyone thinks there is gold in the rural barns and fence rows. Nearly all of my best finds have been in urban areas.

city driving isnt much fun, but there is alot there!

there isnt much city near me, but theres still stuff tucked away everywhere. my "old iron radar' is the stuff of local legend!

Mine is getting my car painted by local artists.

I got a call by a local artist who does the paintings for the local Concours posters. He said he had painted my car in a 24x30 watercolor and told me where I could see it.

Ken,

It's a great picture, you must be very proud to see your car featured.

And here's a link over to a thread in the AACA Packard Forum, Ken's no stranger to this sort of thing.http://forums.aaca.org/ubbthreads.php/topics/586478/1

Actually regarding that other painting, the website is not up anymore and the owner didn't return my calls. I tried to contact him as his prices seem very reasonable or at least in the range I was willing to pay.

However while searching for the artist I came across this site for greeting cards. He is selling greeting card with my car on the front.

I customized the inside of the car with the spec of my car, delivery date etc plus my contact info. I bought 25 of them. I thought if it be something fun to handout if I met someone interested in the card. However at $2.50 a card, I'm going be very selective to whom I hand them out to. It's probably too general for a Xmas card, but would be neat for invitation to a Packard or old car gathering.
