It may have been Packard's cheapest car, but the 1934 Model 1100 still dazzles.
Paul Kammann's second choice turned out to be a pretty darn good first Packard.
Kammann owns three pre-war Packards these days — along with a few other wonderful machines — and it's his 1934 Model 1100 that really kicked off his love affair with the brand. And it was a car that he wound up with almost on accident.
Back in 2009, the Cleveland, Wis., resident road tripped to Ohio to check out another Packard. He thought he had a deal, and then things took an unexpected turn.
John Gunnell recalls Iola's early years as the Iola Car Show turns 50 this year on July 7-9.
During the summer of 1978, I planned a road trip to the Iola Old Car Show (now called the Iola Car Show, or IOLA), where Old Cars was published, but it never happened. After looking at the 1,100-mile trip on a map (no Mapquest back then), a visit to car shows in Macungie and York, Pa., seemed to make a lot more sense. No one knew at the time that a household move to the tiny village of Iola was in the cards for me and my family. Working at Old Cars also included working at the Iola Old Car Show, and my first show was in 1979.
SEMA SAN - The U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 690 (S. Res. 690) at the request of the SEMA Action Network (SAN) recognizing July 8, 2022 as Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD). A similar resolution was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives (H. Res. 1201). The date marks the 13th commemoration of what has become an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
Grandma's '67 Ford Falcon is always a great buy. With only 55k on the odometer it is even better. Yeah, we'd buy that!
The family is selling Grandma's '67 Ford Falcon. That's all we need to know. Grandma only put 55,000 miles on this (almost) completely original six-cylinder gem and somebody is gonna be darn pleased when they get 'er home. This thing looks like a true time capsule — and absolutely the kind of car you would expect Grandma to be tooling around in in 1967.
