a comparison of Packard wheels and colors











this purple Packard bucks the boring paint color trend, and really looks great with the less common color choice, and it is a rare car that still has the dealer tag on the dashboard



It's very uncommon for the cars in Southern California to have the convertible up, and the side curtains closed


A variety of things that caught my eye at the LaJolla Concours, which gave me a chance to try and make good photography





tool kit 1960 250 GT Ferrari


These rims... damn, such a good looking design



original unused spares (or reproductions that are good looking fakes)







In the Nash Healey, both above and below.





the instrument panel is from a Willys





How interesting, Duesenburg's brake temp gauge. Only one in an old car I've ever seen (that I can recall)


this MG had a very interesting rain protecting plastic top, to put on the convertible top, to keep it from getting wet, dusty, or dirty while parked.



a variety of Packard trunks




1903 Thomas



This seems to me to be an oil reservoir, with glass sides to see the amount left in the reservoir


cool padded seating, and door in the back (like EMFs)

And the wicker baskets are there for everything, gold clubs, umbrella,



If you want to compare it to the 1902 Thomas, the oldest known Thomas, which was at Pebble Beach: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-1902-thomas-won-pebble-beachs-pre.html
