Guest 39Super8 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just some pictures from an interesting evening here in Scottsdale, at a local cruise night. These are some of the member’s cars in the PI Arizona Chapter. Best variety of Packards I have seen out on a Saturday night. Best part for me is making it there and back with no problems. Racking up some miles, and building confidence in the car. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 39Super8 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Latter in the evening, one of the members arrived in his ’29, and parked next to my ’39 which was parked next to a ’49. The picture is dark because the sun was down, but it is sure neat to see three decades of design, and look in a row at a cruse night. I am not even sure folks understood that those three cars parked one next to the other represented such a wide span of Packard design and beauty, and history.

Guest 39Super8 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks,My car is really just a nice survivor. The two next to it were just exquisite. The 29 was just beautiful, and the 49 has been run in the great race 4 or 5 times (can’t recall exactly) and is absolutely gorgeous. These fellows must really put time and effort into them. There was such a great variety; a good mix of driver / survivor quality cars like mine, and beautifully restored cars as well. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 When I go to a show, I personally prefer seeing a survivor to seeing a perfectly restored car. Any car can be restored to perfection if you have enough time and/or money, but a car that has a nice patina to it is hard to copy. There's a guy who brings some old cadillacs to a show I go to occasionally, and he sometimes brings a perfectly restored 1930 v16 roadster and sometimes an original unrestored 1932 v8 roadster. The v16 is dazzling, but I greatly prefer to see the v8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
