Car Club member, Les Von Nordheim, reports that the long
standing NAPA business was sold and the new owner nolonger will honor the discount on Auto parts the Club once
received.
AutoZone may be interested in setting up a similar account
like the Club had when Jerry owned NAPA. The Machine
and Rad. shop is still owned by Jerry and John and Rich
Packard in 1972 Fallbrook Car Show will
Re-appear at this year’s Car Show!
A 1934 Packard 1103 Super 8 Sedan was apparently the only 34
Packard sold in Orange County Ca that year (the depression hit Packard
hard!) The original owner lived in Newport Beach and he kept the car until
1971 when he traded it in on a new Chrysler. My father saw it at the dealership and bought it and it was our "family classic" that we went to endless
car shows and events with. My earliest car show memory was with this car
in 1972 , when I was 5 years old, at the Fallbrook event. I believe it was
the first show we brought it to and it took the first place trophy for the
"most original" class. ( the car has never been restored, still original
paint,
etc.).
My father sold the car a few years before his passing in the mid 80's and I always wondered where it had gone. I had heard
word that it was in an auction in 2008, but I was not able to attend. The car was just "gone".
Last fall, my son and I were at the Palos Verdes Concours and I spotted the car from half way across the golf course...I
knew in an instant that it was the same car. As I approached, the memories all flooded back to me...it was
pretty
amazing.
The
car
won
the
Preservation
Class
that
day...still
all
original
and
amazing.
I negotiated with the owner for a couple months and finally managed to strike a deal. My mother, who is in her mid 80's
now, and I bought it back and hid it in the garage of the family homestead and revealed it to everyone
on Christmas Eve with a big red bow on the grille. The "Carlson Family Jewel" is now back in the family.
My sons and I took it on a homecoming tour, visiting places the car has been in its past. We went to the Packard dealership
building that it was sold through (now restored and a great restaurant ), we cruised the streets of Newport Beach that I'm sure the original owner had driven, and the car is stored in the same garage it was
stored in back in the 70's when my father had it.
It might be pretty fun to continue the tour and bring it back to the
Fallbrook show , 44 years later, and see if it might take the "most original" trophy again! Win or lose it would be a fun day
out.

TOPPING
Mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
