From Owen_Dyneto: Didn't count the seconds, but mine is the 8th car to pass the camera (54 seconds), a black 1934 sedan with a single, center-mounted high speed driving light (in the best European tradition).

I did recognize some of the others; the first was owned by Charlie Wallace of Mass, a 1918 335 Twin Six touring I believe. Also spotted Angelo Petrelli's 1947 silver/blue Clipper Super, Ole Book's 53 green Caribbean, Walt Breithaupt's 1940 120 green convertible coupe, Jeff Guss' 37 Twelve convertible, and Kenn Sly's 1954 black Cavalier. I forget just now who owned the funeral vehicles but they were truly spectacular. Though guests could come any day to the hotel or other venues, only those registered for the event were allowed on the judging grounds and I'm guessing the video was made just before the entrance to same, on the grounds of the magnificent Crane estate (plumbing magnate), "Castle Hill" in Ipswich.

Thanks so much for posting! The one on the 2005 Packard meet was the PAC National at Danvers (outside Boston) Mass. and seeing my own 34 Eight (black sedan) in it along with cars of quite a few friends from New Jersey who also attended let me relive the event a bit. It was an excellent national meet.

Where in the video is your car? If you could watch the seconds click by on the player and let us know so we can look for it...
