On Friday August 16th, the City of Pacific Grove held its annual classic cars on the street. As usual, one of our main streets was the landing zone for about 100 classic and luxury cars and trucks. The cars lined Lighthouse Avenue 4 deep in most of the 10 or so blocks of the exhibition.
To me, one or two vehicles “stole the show” and were clearly heads above the others. That was the case for the 1932 Packard pictured below.

The gentlemen with the straw hat is the father of the owner who is to his left in a blue shirt. I was told by dad that his son bought the car from a family that owned and stored in a garage for many years. The son did some restorations and cleaning , but not much because the car was in really good shape.

This car was right out of a film about Al Capone.
Also, I have over 50 pictures from Street Car Day 2019 in Pacific Grove. Just trying to figure out the best way to present them. Stand By.
