We drive our Packards. What can I say. Here are two of the most driven.

 

Our first "classic" as defined by the Classic Car Club of America, is a 1932 Eight Deluxe model 903 Packard Convertible Sedan. Before we owned it, it went on the "Peking to Paris" rally with the prior owner in 1997. We bought it in 2002, from Tom Crook in Seattle (great used Packard car dealer name, right?), and drove it home to Glendale, CA without ever cracking the tool box. Then we drove it on two tours up and down the coast of Calif., followed by a tour in the old south. The first picture is at Henry Ford's plantation outside Savannah, GA. The next year (2005), we went on the Alaska CARavan (CARavans are annual tours put on by the CCCA), and there's "Luna" at the Alaska pipeline. The third picture is the next year at the Kirkland Concours just north of Seattle. This picture made the back of the CCCA magazine.

 

Our other car, also from Tom Crook, is a 1937 Packard super 8 convertible coupe. Yeah, not only are we driving fools, we're convertible fools, and we name our cars. This car, "Goldie", has a long history of being driven on CARavans, probably the most ever driven by the same car. We drove it to Lake Tahoe and back, partly on a flatbed, due to overheating. We got a new radiator, then drove it north on hwy 395, through Bend, OR, then on to Whidbey Island, Wa, where it now resides and tours extensively. We've been to Canada twice, and are going again in June, on the CCCA Pacific Northwest CARavan. In 2008 we drove Goldie to the Montana CARavan, along with a 1937 Cord and a 1934 Auburn, did the tour, then drove back to Whidbey Island. 3000 miles in total. Picture 4 is in Yellowstone National Park. The last one is from last year on tour in the Olympic Peninsula, at Lake Quinalt, which we used on our Christmas card.
