If you are a new member or you haven't been to one of the Anniston Meets before, I wholeheartedly encourage you to consider attending! The Anniston meet is unique among car shows for several reasons. For one thing, it's pretty much dedicated to Packards and Imperials, and I doubt there's another event in the US with such a focus. What's even more fun, however, is the fact that you actually have the chance to DRIVE most of the cars at the meet (a polite request to the owner is definitely in order, or course). So not only do you get to see a group of your favorite cars, but you have the chance to really get to experience what it's like to be on the road in them. Visit http://www.imperialclub.com/Events for pictures from previous meets -- and come join us at Anniston!
