Tom would rather photograph hot rods but when that is not possible he will grab his gear and head to just about any car show. Barrett Jackson is an auto show that he enjoys attending if it is close to wherever we are. This year there was a 'special' car, one that Tom actually owned in 1971.
Packard Touring
First attempt at a compact car by an American company, Bantam.
This was Tom's 1963 Corvette Stingray that he owned for a brief time in 1971. He purchased it at a bargain basement price. It had been neglected and Tom sold it when he decided it would require more repair than he was willing to put into it. It has been restored by subsequent owners, including the Peterson Museum. It was sold at the auction for $62,000.
