An
estimated 1,100 cars filled the sprawling grounds of the Endicott Estate
A chosen few got an honored spot in front of the
mansion
Colorful motorcycles were also on
display
Of course, I only photographed
a small number of the 1,100 cars assembled, but following
are those that stood out for their beauty, or rarity, or both, at least in my
humble opinion
Many Cadillacs of various vintage graced the
lawns
Parking this 1910
Cadillac in front of the mansion made for a great photo opp
Restored to its original elegance
The 1910 Cadillac's 4-cylinder 33-horsepower
engine
Moving up a generation, this is a 1933 Cadillac
Cars of the New England Region Cadillac and
LaSalle Club
One of the club's cars, a 1937 Cadillac
This is not a Cadillac, but it's
close
It's a '31 LaSalle, manufactured by Cadillac, and for all practical purposes the
same car
A little closer to today's Cadillac in styling, a 1957 Sedan de Ville
Before Cadillac achieved market
domination, Packard was America's premier luxury car
A perfectly restored 1931 Packard touring car
1932 Packard Dual-Cowl Phaeton
Some confusion over the year on this Packard — the hood and grille
are 1936, but the fender styling is nearer 1932
This 1934 Packard needs some touching up
1940 Packard flower
car
Elegant and tasteful
1941 Packard One-Fifty
1941 Clipper, Packard's low-price series —
notice the radical difference
in styling from the car of the same year in the previous photo
When Packard resumed domestic production after
World War
II,
the 1946 Clipper was mostly
unchanged
Most noticeable change was the wider grille bars
The
bulky and, in my opinion, less attractive 1949 Packard Custom
The rather unappealing 1954 Packard — in
another two years
this great American classic would be out of business
