My next project? 1921 Packard Coupe

2 minute(s) of a 548 minute read

Here in Australia as a result of living on the right side of the International Date line it is Christmas Eve already. Santa has been busy and as many of you know he has been searching the world for Packard pieces for me. Just in time he has found a pair of those extremely elusive hand control levers. Ross M. from Ontario in Canada has decided to let me have a pair that he has spare to his requirements.

Happy Christmas!

Christmas is all about sharing so I would like to share a couple of cards that I received from British motoring friends. The first one is produced by the Vintage Sports Car Club. It shows typical club cars attending a "Pre-Christmas Autojumble (Swap meet to you and me) This one includes a little test to help fill in your post Christmas lunch afternoon. How many different makes and model cars can you identify? 

The other is produced by "BEN" a British Motor Industry benevolent fund that provides help and care in times of need for retired employees of the Motor Industry and their dependants. The scene portrayed is describes thus: It's the morning of Christmas Eve 1937, the driver of the Triumph Gloria flow free saloon is pulling into the Park Garage. On the fore-court stands a 1935 BSA 500 motorcycle whilst a 1937 AEC Regent 1-STL double decker bus drives past.
