Some of the DCO Ladies amongst fighter planes. |
Day 1 was topped off with an outdoor concert by the Air Force Band of Flight playing tunes written by Glenn Miller and members of his Orchestra infront of the hangers. |
Day 2's main event was the America's Packard Museum. Packard was John DeLorean's first automotive employer. |
The Packard Museum is located in a restored Packard Dealership building from 1917. |
This Packard was the last automobile that Al Capone owned. |
Cheryl checks out a luxurious Packard limo which the museums rents out, chauffeur included! More information here. |
Packard's service area had an elevator to the 2nd floor where they stored cars for clients while they were on vacation. The train station was just across the street. |
Larry & Al check out some hidden cars out back. |
Packard's "Used Cars" even had their own indoor show room. |
Thanks for all the work & a great weekend, Larry! Also thanks to Theresa Montgomery and her assistant at the Air Force Museum and our guide at the Packard Museum. |
