A Sunday Drive – Packards Out Cruising Bring Joy in a Pandemic
On Sunday, May 31, 2020, the Packard Club hosted the Lake Forest Place Procession of Historic Automobiles and drove through the senior residence as a way to break the monotony of isolation for those sheltering in place.
Nearly 50 cars drove through the senior community
Tours: Exciting Driving Experiences
Packard Club members and friends participate in a Spring Tour early in the season, several shorter driving experiences during the summer, and a Fall Tour shortly before the cars are put away for the winter.
Each one provides camaraderie, an opportunity to see interesting places
Brighton Run
All day
November 1, 2020
This annual event features cars meeting at a predesignated location in northern Illinois and driving together to Brighton, Wisconsin, a very small community north of Antioch. For reference, Brighton is 42 miles from the Deerfield/Highland Park area. A local church serves lunch. The event commemorates the annual London-to-Brighton Veteran Car Run in England for 1905 and older cars, an almost annual event since 1896. For details see Jim Manak.
