There was annual grand Classic at Buck Hill falls every winter. This was back before trailers. So you would drive your prewar cars in the snow and cold. There was a local guy that had a Packard touring car which he would drive down in. My dad drove down in a Packard Darrin and Cord 812 different years. One year JB Nethercutt showed up with a tractor trailer and that was the beginning of the end of the driving era.
I was a little kid - but I've heard stories of tire chains and all - I believe there are neat photos around somewhere.
I have some pictures somewhere. I'll try to dig them up.
I’ll take your dad and Mom for a spin when they come south after the holidays, as long as Big Al doesn’t complain I drive too fast. Ed
Great photos - thank you!
