Cars "R" Stars show at the Historic Packard Proving Grounds in Michigan

This year the Cars "R" Stars show at the Historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Twp Michigan will feature commercial vehicles as the show theme. The show this year will be on Sunday June 8th, 2014 at the Packard Proving Grounds on Van Dyke Rd in Shelby Township, Michigan.

I am working with the show organizers and we are looking for trucks and commercial vehicles from each decade that are representative of the decade from 1900 to 1960.

Here is a link to the Packard Foundation page with more information. http://www.packardmotorfdn.org/

Here is a link to last years show. http://www.sourcenewspapers.com/arti...6511438956.txt

And this year http://www.carsrstars.com/

Some of the trucks that they would like to have included are,

Ford Model T

Ford Model A

Diamond T

+- 1940 Cab Over either GM or Ford

1940's Ford F1

Late 1940's - early 1950's Chevrolet 5 window truck

1950's Chevrolet ElCamino

Mack truck from the 20's or 30's

Studebaker from pre WWII

Pre WWII fire truck

Corvair Rampside pick up

DIVCO Milk Truck

For sure any Packard Truck

This is a partial list and if anyone has an interesting truck they would like considered, please let us know. Trucks do not need to be total restorations, but should be non modified vehicles that represent the technical history at the time it was built.

Any one that is part of the marquis display will get free admission and some other recognition.

If you could pass this on to the truck persons that you know, I would appreciate it.

Please have interested individuals let me know that they are interested with contact information along with a picture and vehicle information. I will pass that on to the selection committee for review.

If you or anyone have any questions, please call me or send me a pm and thanks for your help.

Regards,

Larry
