The Fall 2003 Anniston, Alabama,
Packard and Imperial meet was held the weekend of September 19-21, 2003. The meet
was again hosted by the North Alabama Packard Club and held at The Victoria, a
victorian-style home that has been restored as a bed & breakfast with 44 additional rooms added in the rear of the property in the style
of the original home. Donald Taccone and Debbie Brown host this event
and always make it a real success. The fun began Friday around 7:00 p.m. with the welcome/cocktail party hosted by Donald Taccone and Debbie Brown. This is always great fun with wonderful food and spirits! We all enjoyed welcoming new folks to the gathering and greeting old friends. Saturday morning we gathered in the hotel parking lot and the Packard & Imperial Motoring began! There were around 20 cars and everyone had a great time! There's no better way to spend a weekend than driving great old cars and enjoying talking with other car "nuts." We had a wide range of cars this year, with everything from a '53 Packard Clipper to a '75 Imperial LeBaron Crown Coupe, with a Hudson Hornet and a '60 New Yorker to fill in the blanks. On Sunday, the weather was bright and sunny, and we all enjoyed a morning of Imperial fun. Our weekend's entertainment included everything from a late night admiring the glow of taillights in the parking lot to an excellent bagpipe serenade! Everyone had a GREAT time, and we can't wait for our next gathering! Several folks even flew in from as far away as Washington D.C., which is a testament to just how much fun these meets are! So if you haven't attended this event before, be sure to make plans to attend in the fall! |

Imperials after dark . . . yes, Imperial owners march to a different drummer -- or is it a different bagpiper??? |

Wiley and Judy Snaveley drove their 1959 Imperial Crown Coupe all the way from Tulsa, OK, to Anniston, AL! They had just had an A/C unit installed in the car, and it worked great! | |
 |
Robert Soule's 1966 Chrysler 300 is in great condition inside and out. The original bucket seats add to the sporty feel of the 300. |
