I was young and knew little about 'old cars' when I looked at it. It has been 40+ yrs but I recall that he found it in Mexico and the one he owned had a nickle plated hood? The fellow had quite a collection of Packards. His last name was Henry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobinVirginia Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) @alsancle It was absolutely beautiful. I’m sure way way nicer than new. I thought I had gotten a pic of the engine bay but don’t have it. The level of detail was just as excellent there. Edited May 6 by BobinVirginia (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great collection, and more than happy to give you a ride or tour around their farm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 There seems to have been a certain taste among the ultra-wealthy of those on the Asia sub-continent for lavish polished metal or chrome embellishments for their luxury cars. As if simply possessing a car among the legion of impoverished citizens wasn't enough to reenforce one's social standing... Thanks for the photographs, wonderful selection of interesting Classics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The Buick is also a AACA winning car and won the Zenith Award in 2019. It also has won every award AACA can bestow on a car! An amazing restoration with an engine compartment and chassis that are like a jewel. Superiorly researched and restored. It is a CCCA full classic Model 8-94. Greenbrier was a very nice, relaxed event at a historic location, Just getting to tour the Presidential bunker is worth the trip. We had quite a few AACA members participating and judging. I was pleased to judge again this year. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really had a good time seeing the Limited and talking with the Peeler’s. Thanks for the information on the Buick. That one was by far the nicest Buick I’ve ever seen. Without the forum I’d have never known about the show and would’ve missed out. I had a terrific day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Lovely photos of the Greenbriar Concours. Some guy from my h.s., another Langley High* alum, went there and all he shared with us was a 70s Porsche 914! * in the backwater town of McLean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
