A Night with Packard, Cadillac, Cord, Mercury, Lincoln, Chrysler Classics in Michigan

Summertime is prime season for classic cars—perhaps the only season if you live in the frosty north. Motor City Packards, one of many clubs worldwide celebrating Packards, had a great turnout for a recent ice cream social at Jeff and Jennifer Bladow’s home near Plymouth, Michigan.

The Bladows are car enthusiasts with quite the collection of classics, including a 1940 Packard One Twenty. In addition to the eight Packards on display, the event also hosted sheetmetal from members of the Cadillac and LaSalle Club and the Classic Car Club of America.
