Went for a Sunday breakfast run to a nearby club. Here are some pictures:
At the gas station before the run...
Now at the club (I was given "special parking" due to being the only Mopar! *smile*)
And here are other American cars
Is this "american" since FIAT is Chrysler "parent" company now? 
Sorry for posting too many pictures

I’m envious, old car season ended here six weeks ago due to stinking winter approching. We will be back at it first weekend in May wearing heavy coats when the season once again kicks off with its first show.
There are some nice looking cars at your gathering. Love the Continental, and Caddy, I’m a sucker for land yachts.
Seeing that Fiat 500 brought back memories of one a childhood friend’s mother owned that we got carted around in, it looked quite small next to their full sized wagon. I used to marvel at its rear engine, and dinkyness. They traded it on a less, but still dinky VW Beatle._________________ 67' Dart GT Convertible; the old Chrysler Corp.

Well I guess you could say that and you could also say I was born in the wrong era. I only like cars my predecessors (parents) learned to drive in and stuff before that time as well._________________ '73 Scamp (the girlfriend): 225ci super/6 2BBL conversion (Almost done!)

exoJjL,
I wish I had an early thirties Packard touring car or two, but sadly those baby’s are way beyond my pre lotto winning budget. LOL Hell, I would like to have a late forties bathtub 120… among about a hundred other old cars on the wish list.
“Ask the man who owns one”; was an advertising slogan Packard used for many years. The old guys here remember seeing print advertisements, as I do for Packard Automobiles incorporating that wording.
I used that slogan as a clue to the make of car displaying that straight eight. Those early fifties Packard’s were rather low brow, ugly looking cars, in my mind, 1955 & 1956 styling was stunning and in tune with other luxury cars of those years, but the build quality during the waning years of Packard slid down hill real fast. After Packard merged with Studebaker, someone in the design studio whipped out the ugly stick, and went to town._________________ 67' Dart GT Convertible; the old Chrysler Corp.
