Before departing we promised ourselves to meet up at the next by the Club’s German members. Seven Packards joined from Denmark and one major NPOC event, the annual meet to be held in Varberg, Sweden in 2011. The from Sweden. A few members came by air. On Saturday a flash action was staged, German arrangers accompanied us on the way and the rest of the journey was without any permits whatsoever, when the cars were parked in front of Brandenburger without drama or incidents. Tor for a photo shoot. The entire action lasted only a couple of minutes. Read in this issue the report from Berlin, an article about the disintegration of the Packard plant, Many thanks for a magnificent arrangement a Norwegian hearse and a little about oil. As far as I am concerned it was a great experience to see Berlin again. I hadn’t been there since 1982 and I got a lump in my throat when I saw the monumental Page 3-7 change that has taken place in the years since then. The “concrete-gray” communist Berlin Rendezvous atmosphere has been replaced by optimism and belief in the future.

  • Detroit City Airport-Coleman A. Young International Airport Local Historic
    State Historic Preservation Office Michigan State Housing Development Authority Staff Comments, April 14, 2016 Detroit City Airport/Coleman A. Young International Airport Local Historic District, Detroit While the airport’s significance is on-going, the cut off would be the general fifty year rule adopted by the National Register. In addition, there appears to be an early period of significance that should be noted--1929 to 1946, from construction to the end of the airport’s operation as a commercial airport. The report must include a list of resources and major features that indicate the year built and the determination of whether each resource is contributing or non-contributing to the district. It is not acceptable to rely on a general statement like “Ancillary buildings such as T-hangars and service facilities, also occupy the site, as do runways.” The report should include a site map with the location of each resource indicated--preferably keyed to photographs. It would also be good to include a map which shows the location of the site within the broader context of the city. All maps should be labeled with the name of the district, city, county and date. The report must include a statement of significance that explains how the resource meets the National Register eligibility criteria. This is a well-researched report but we noted a few minor things: • Page 5, paragraph 2 the sentence “With the passage of the Civil Aeronautics Act in 1938, the prohibition on airport-building by the federal government was finally lifted.” Prior to that statement, the report does not clearly indicate a prohibition was in place.
