     The Larz Anderson Auto Museum hosts many car-related events over the course of a year


On this day, discontinued brands were featured


Spectators admired classic cars on the picturesque property                           


Some familiar and some not-so-familiar makes put in an appearance


                                       When was the last time you saw a Goggomobil?


This is the 1960 edition of this tiny Bavarian car that went out of business in 1969


This unusual front-end treatment belongs to a 1961 DeSoto Adventurer                  


Only 3,034 were made in '61 before Chrysler dropped the brand


                               The Plymouth was dropped in 2001 — this is the 1952 model

                                                            1956 Packard Caribbean


This was the last true Packard...

                                 An ignominious end for a great American classic
