Has anyone attended this event? How was the 1937 Packard showroom event? I heard this would be a fantastic show. Any photo's anyone?
Thanks

I was at the National Packard Museum anniversary show in July this year. Great show. I will upload photos one at a time as my time permits. Enjoy

It wasn't a 'Great Show'...It was a PHENOMENAL Show....Once in a life time opportunity to see in one place almost all the 49 models offered by Packard in 1937...PLUS 6 RARE customs....PLUS 6 Warren Packards (1900-1904).

There are photos from the event on the packardinfo.com site. I understand there was a '37 Twelve Phaeton there. I thought it was yours.

Personal note: the 2106 is getting its radiator re-cored. I'll tell you more about it later.

Hello John, yes that was our Sport Phaeton. We were pleased and honored to have our car in such good company. I will post more on this later as I have time.

It's just beautiful. Looks so much better sitting on the ground than up on a lift. Thanks for sharing.

You would think this is my first day with the new laptop! Here are two photos; one looking rearward and one facing the front. This was as they were just setting up. Not all the cars were in Warren OH yet.

Thank you for the kind words John. Here is a photo of just how large that tent (temporary structure) was. The photo was taken about halfway facing to the rear.

It is unbelievable how much work the Museum and all the volunteers did. This was an event that will never happen again. That is why we wanted to attend with the Sport Phaeton.

Wow! Hard to believe that it is fiberglass

That is an impressive temporary facility. The Six Convertible Coupe in the first photo looks like my 1089.

Hello David, Don’t forget the interior made from Papier-mâché, the cardboard convertible top and of course the Styrofoam tires and wheels. I appreciate the great compliment in spite of your bizarre humor (how else would I know it was you).

We are sorry we will not be able to attend the Truth or Consequences New Mexico tour. You should have not tempted us like that. We may have a large group at Thanksgiving and Michele is involved with a statewide training / conference for the Public Defender office. November looks very busy. That Spa / resort sounds wonderful.

Say a big hello to David Jr. and Ana for us!

Darn, I hate to disappoint any following I might have, but for the one and only time, you have me at a loss for words. I loved your response. (37 SportPhaeton allowed me to drive his 1939 V-12 formal earlier this year, and it was a wonderful experience.) I too am overloaded with headaches, but then, all the more reason for a 103 degree mineral bath.

I need to set up the Cloudcroft run for June how about that one?
