ESTE FUE DESDE 1901, EL SLOGAN DE ESTA PRESTIGIOSA MARCA NORTEAMERICANA, POSIBLEMENTE LA MÁS TRADICIONAL Y EMBLEMÁTICA MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS TRES GRANDES. MUY RECONOCIDA EN NUESTRO PAÍS, AUNQUE LAMENTABLEMENTE EXISTEN MUY POCOS EJEMPLARES QUE HAYAN SOBREVIVIDO HASTA NUESTROS DÍAS. AQUÍ LES PRESENTAMOS UNO DE ELLOS, QUE VIVIÓ TODA SU VIDA EN ARGENTINA, Y HOY SE MUESTRA TAN ELEGANTE Y MAJESTUOSO COMO CUANDO FUERA CERO KILÓMETRO.

  • The Owner's Manual
    The Owner’s Manual The Official Newsletter of The Lone Star Packards Spring 2018 Director’s Corner As I write this I am still catching up on things around the house and garage that I put off while we prepared two cars for Keels and Wheels. This year's event was better than ever despite the weather people and their gloomy forecast. We had a large contingent of LSP members and record number cars from our region. Elsewhere in this issue you will find more details and many pictures. This week we predictably hit the 90 degree mark and you know there will be more and higher temp to come. I am always amused at our friends up north that are so happy when summer arrives so they can get their Packard out of storage and start cruising. I think at this time we only have one Packard in our region with a working air conditioner, therefore our reaction to summer in South Texas is considerably different! I have vowed many times to put one in our '55 but every time I get close to doing it something comes up a little higher on the priority list and A/C has to wait. Anyway, it is on my bucket list! I have floated the idea about perhaps having breakfast meetings around 8:00 a.m. during the really hot summer days but so far, the idea just seems to be floating around by itself. In June we are invited to the Sartin's car barn to see three new cars including one Packard convertible.

    THE NOR’EASTER Newsletter of the New England Region – Classic Car Club of America Number 27 August , 2013 Heidi Ann Charlton, Editor Director’s Message: After such a rainy start, summer has finally arrived and I have been busy attending several car shows in New England. I joined a few club members at Misselwood Concours and I had a great time judging. I also attended the Cadillac LaSalle Grand National Meet that was held in Boston, MA earlier this month. I am sharing some of the photos from the shows in this newsletter. There are still plenty of shows on the calendar and don’t forget our own Bershires Tour hosted by Garth and Karen Story, The registration forms are in this newsletter. I hope to see you and your classic car. Jack Editor’s Notes: I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying all the delights of summer time. Especially driving your Classics. I was very surprised at the response that was received on our last club magazine and I have taken the opportunity to share in this newsletter some of the comments that were received. Heidi A DAY AT THE BOOTHBAY RAILROAD VILLAGE BOOTHBAY, MAINE BY JERRY MABEN Antique Auto Day(s) at Boothbay Railway Village has been held on the third weekend in July since 1965. Although I am admiring a wide variety of automobiles arriving on the show field, I wanted to write just a few lines about some of the Classic Cars in the museum collection. Most CCCA New England Region members have been to the Village by caravan, mini-tour, or visited while vacationing in the Boothbay region.
