coachbuilt Packards at the Dana Point Concours de Elegance

 in the middle of the gauge above, on the left it says "Park" and on the right "City" ... and in the below photo on the far right the gauge has "Drive" and "Pass"

I've never noticed anything like that before. Also unusual is the radio, it's the middle gauge. I don't recall ever seeing a radio that fits into the look of the other gauges so well.

6th annual West Coast all AMC car show at the NHRA museum

Finally a 2nd SC/Rambler is found in So Cal

I don't know what the hell tri-poised power is.. .does anyone? And I hadn't heard of the 327 AMC motor that I remember

Goof collection of 8 tracks!
