Hello all,
Just wanted to thank Elijah Scott for posting the pictures from the ACN. It
sure is nice to have someone with Elijah's computer and internet skills to
document our events and activities. Additionally, I would also like to
thank Elijah again for the fine job he did building the web pages and
documenting the Chattanooga Meet from earlier this summer. As for Carlisle,
PA, there was an impressive array of Imperials at this year's ACN. Got the
chance to talk with a number of folks from the list and look at some really
fine Imperials. I was most impressed with the '62 convertible and the '58
Imperial LeBaron. However, I enjoyed seeing all the cars and meeting their
owners.
I finally got to meet Jan Witte. He is the lucky owner of not 1 but 2 Ghia
limos. Both of his cars have an interesting history, and he is planning to
bring them -- yes, both of them -- to next year's ACN! I will not miss that
no matter what! Mr. Whitten is diligently working, lobbying, and arm
twisting the folks at the AACA to designate all Ghia Imperial Limousines as
Full Classics. I hope he is successful in his efforts, as the cars are
indeed worthy of such a distinction. I think such a move would elevate the
desirability of all Imperials in the coming years. He is also considering
driving one of his Ghias all the way from New York to Alabama for the Fall
Packard & Imperial Meet in Anniston. I am not going to miss that event
either!
While I am on the subject, if you have not already made plans to attend the
Fall Packard & Imperial Meet, do so now. This event is hosted by the
Alabama Packard Club in the Spring and Fall of every year, and at least for
me, they are the highlight of my Imperial events for the year. Donald
Taccone and Debbie Brown do a really fine job hosting the event, so mark
your calendars now for the weekend of September 21. For information about
the meet, contact Donald Taccone at: pacdoc1956@xxxxxxx
See ya'll in Anniston,
Robert Soule
