Wanted to add my own plug for the Anniston gathering.
It is, without a doubt, the most fun car event in
which I've ever participated. It is not a show!
There are no judges. No trophies. It's not even an
Imperial thing. The Alabama Packard club hosts the
event and while Imperials will be probably half the
cars, there will be many other brands present, from
Rolls Royce to Plymouth but all will be the pride and
joy of their owners.
There will be cars there in all kinds of condition
from #5 to near #1 and nobody grouses when someone
drives up in a daily driver. This is about cars, fun,
driving, telling lies, meeting old friends and new
ones too, and all that good kinda stuff.
Wives have a ball too and seem to really enjoy both
the fellowship and the chauffering to the mall or
wherever. There will be breakdowns and repairs under
the shade trees or on the side of the road and
probably more tools in folks trunks than at the local
Sears.
Yall come!
