Flyers-Rangers Preview
The Philadelphia Flyers played the New York Rangers close during the Eastern Conference quarterfinals in April, but regular-season matchups in Madison Square Garden haven't been as well contested.
The Rangers will try to continue their home dominance over their Metropolitan Division rival Wednesday night with both teams hoping to end losing streaks in their first matchup since the playoffs.
New York (7-7-4) has won eight straight regular-season home games against Philadelphia (7-7-2) with a 31-9 scoring advantage. The Flyers' only victory in their last 12 visits to Manhattan came in Game 2 of the playoff series, which they would lose in Game 7 at the Garden by a 2-1 score.
The Rangers haven't had much of a home-ice advantage lately, losing five of seven at MSG following Monday's 5-1 defeat to Tampa Bay. Martin St. Louis scored against his former team but had a minus-4 rating.
"You can live with yourself losing a game when you played the right way," St. Louis told the team's official website. "I don't know how we can live with that one (Monday). It's going to be a tough one. It's nowhere near where we have to play to give ourselves a chance."
He has six goals and two assists in his last eight games, but St. Louis has a minus-7 rating in the past six as New York has gone 1-3-2.
Both the Rangers and goalie Henrik Lundqvist enter Wednesday looking to avoid losing four straight for the first time since Dec. 7-12.
"I am concerned," said Lundqvist, who allowed five goals on 30 shots Monday. "We just have to keep talking about it in practice and believe in each other and stay positive. We know it's there."
Lundqvist has keyed New York's recent dominance of Philadelphia at MSG with 16 goals allowed in the past 12 meetings, including eight consecutive regular-season wins with a 1.13 goals-against average.
The Rangers were one of the better defensive teams in hockey a season ago, ranking fourth with 2.32 goals against per game. This season, they're up to 3.00, but Philadelphia has been among the worst in the league at 3.19.
The Flyers have that same average at the other end to rank among the NHL's top-scoring teams, but that didn't help in back-to-back defeats over the weekend. One night after losing 4-3 at home to Columbus, they fell 6-3 at Montreal on Saturday for their third straight road loss.
"When you give up six goals, it's hard to come back," said Brayden Schenn, who scored twice. "Our team defense wasn't where it needed to be."
Schenn has three goals and four assists on a career-best five-game point streak, while Jakub Voracek assisted on both of his goals and has 19 points on a 10-game streak. The duo skated with Claude Giroux against the Canadiens and has impressed coach Craig Berube.
"They look fast," Berube told the team's official website. "Brayden got to the net - he's doing a lot of good things, wherever he's playing."
Special teams have been a bit of a circus lately for the Flyers. They've gone 7 for 14 on the power play in the last three games, and their 23.6 percent season mark is among the best in hockey. Their penalty kill is 1 for 7 in the last two games and ranks near the bottom at 71.2 percent.
Ray Emery struggled in goal against the Canadiens, which may pave the way for Steve Mason to start. Mason, though, is 0-3-0 with a 3.35 GAA on the road this season and 0-3-1 with a 3.44 GAA all-time at the Garden, including two playoff starts.
Rangers top scorer Rick Nash has no goals in his last nine games against the Flyers.

Vancouver port deciding on oil train terminal
Jul 23, 2013
By The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Port commissioners are deciding whether to approve a lease for a Columbia River terminal that would take in crude oil by train from North Dakota and ship it to West Coast refineries.
Port of Vancouver managers recommended approval of the deal with Tesoro Corp. and Savage Cos. for the economic benefits. Neighborhood and environmental groups oppose it because of safety and ecological risks.
Oil trains from the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota would run through the Columbia River Gorge and Vancouver.
Most of the more than 90 people who attended a port commission workshop hearing on Monday evening opposed the proposal, The Columbian reported.
Demonstrators outside held banners that read, "In solidarity with Lac-Megantic," a reference to the Quebec town where 50 people were killed on July 6 when a runaway train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded.
The port lease would be just one step in the project. The 42-acre terminal also would have to be approved by Washington's Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council. Gov. Jay Inslee would have final approval.
Vancouver and Portland members of the national environmental group Climate Parents presented the three port commissioners with 14,000 signatures demanding they reject the Tesoro-Savage plan. Speakers at the workshop said the terminal would increase the risks of oil spills, releases toxics into the air and worsen climate change.
Tesoro is a current tenant at the port. With Savage it wants to build a terminal with six storage tanks capable of handling 360,000 barrels a day for shipment to 19 West Coast and British Columbia refineries, The Oregonian reported (http://bit.ly/13AAtzW ).
By comparison, the Alaska pipeline is averaging 559,000 barrels a day this year, according to Alyeska Pipeline Services. A barrel is 42 gallons.
The Vancouver terminal operation would involve as many as four, mile-long oil trains a day, operated by Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
The 10-year lease would bring the port $4.5 million a year. It currently operates on revenue of $34 million a year.
The companies also would invest up to $100 million in the terminal that would employ 120 workers, and agree to rail and operation safety plans.
Tesoro, Savage and Burlington Northern Santa Fe have said they'll use modern equipment, rail cars and double-hulled vessels.
BNSF invested $100 million in railway upgrades last year in Washington, including track through the Gorge, spokesman Gus Melonas told The Oregonian. The company is training emergency response personnel in Stevenson and Vancouver on tank car operations, he said.
Trains already deliver oil to the U.S. Oil refinery in Tacoma and the Tesoro refinery near Anacortes. BP plans to build a rail yard at its Cherry Point refinery north of Bellingham.
An oil terminal already is operating on the Columbia at a former ethanol plant at Port Westward near Clatskanie, Ore. Other oil terminals are proposed in Tacoma and Grays Harbor County.

John Huppenthal, Head Of Arizona Schools, Refused To Criticize Founding Fathers For Owning Slavestags: Founding Fathers, Slaves, John Huppenthal
John Huppenthal, superintendent of public instruction for the state of Arizona, has recently come under fire for a slew of bigoted online comments he made in 2010 and 2011 under assumed names. He made a tearful apology last week after being outed as the man behind the Internet commenters Falcon9 and Thucydides. As these personalities, Huppenthal called Obama a "slime," referred to welfare recipients as "lazy pigs" and advocated banning all Spanish-language media.
But blogger David Morales at Three Sonorans wants to remind you that Huppenthal has said reprehensible things publicly too.
In an interview Morales posted to YouTube back in 2010, Huppenthal declined to criticize the Founding Fathers for owning slaves, saying they were above reproach.
"Our Founding Fathers brought all the freedoms that have enabled all the prosperity that's created the culture that we have in America," Huppenthal says in the interview. The following exchange then takes place:
Morales: Even Jefferson, who owned slaves?
Huppenthal: Even Jefferson, who owned slaves.
Morales: How is that freedom?
Huppenthal: Well, he was the writer of the Declaration of Independence.
Morales: He also owned slaves, too.
Huppenthal: Well, there's no problem with that.
Morales: There's no problem with slaves?
Huppenthal does not directly answer the question.

Los Angeles Movie Awards Best Narrative Short Film Stays 'Committed'It's no secret that Hollywood is a tough nut to crack, and every aspiring actress dreams of her big break. But what many don't realize is that there is a rather straightforward way to ensure you land the role you want. One night over dinner Mehran Torgoley and Llana Barron realized that the best way to land a role is to write it yourself, and a few drinks later, the kernel of the idea for "Committed" was born. In the short film, a compassionate nurse in an overcrowded mental hospital in the early 1950s struggles to prove the sanity of a young paraplegic patient. "We decided to shoot with the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K because of its image quality. It's amazing that we were able to get such an incredibly detailed image for such an affordable price."

The film features a compilation of present-day interviews with band members and industry influencers, fan video submissions and archived tour media.

What was your motivation behind this project? I wanted to extend the dialogue about the church beyond methods of growth and evangelism to help pastors and church leaders develop a vision for an authentic and life-transforming Christian community.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? A renewed vision and passion for forming authentic, healthy and holy local churches. Practical helps in how to make worship, the teaching of the Word and witness to the world both more consistent with the character of God and more relevant to spiritual seekers.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I was greatly influenced by Emil Brunner's book The Misunderstanding of the Church, the writings of Miroslav Volf, Dallas Willard, Henri Nouwen, and especially John Calvin. This book is offered as a kind of coffee shop conversation with these scholars, mega-church leaders, and spiritual seekers.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: If Bill Hybels is correct that the "local church is the hope of the world" then it is imperative that the church be all God intended it to be. My message is "As God is, the Church should be. The more the Church is like God, the more Christians will be like Christ."

Collection of one-off Packards to take the lawn at Amelia Island

Not often does one car collector get an entire concours class all to himself, but the organizers of this year's Amelia Island Concours made an exception for Packard collector Ralph Marano – not because he paid them off, but because he's put together a unique collection of Packard one-off, show, experimental, and concept cars, 10 of which he plans to bring to Amelia.
Marano, of Westfield, New Jersey, began collecting Packards in the late 1970s, but said he doesn't quite recall when he decided to assemble every existing Packard show car, particularly those from the 1950s. "It began with me going out and searching for them, then over the years it inverted, and people started calling me," he said. Along the way, he's had to piece together all of the cars' varied histories and origins, some quite a bit more complex than the dream cars that GM, Ford and Chrysler built at the same time.
Take, for example, the Vignale Packard. Based on a prewar Packard 120 chassis, the coachbuilder Vignale draped it with an envelope body much wider than the original. "The steering wheel is so far toward the center of the car, that when I have a passenger in it with me, they're just about sitting on my lap," Marano said. Marano claims Vignale began work on it in 1938 – 10 years before the coachbuilding firm was founded – and the partially completed car was hidden away during World War II, then finished and revealed after the war (some sources claim 1948, others 1951). Whatever the backstory, the convertible body bears little resemblance to any other Packard of any era, with only a hint of Packard's trademark tombstone grille.
Other Packard one-offs of the era were certainly built for show – to prove that Packard was still in the game and could still hold its own against the competition from Detroit. The Richard Arbib-designed Packard Pan America – which ended up influencing the production Caribbean – traveled the show circuit in 1952, as did the Dick Teague-designed Balboa in 1953, Teague's Request in 1955, and the Dick Macadam-designed Predictor in 1956. Some weren't built just for static display: The Panther of 1954 (which Teague originally named Gray Wolf II) debuted at Daytona Beach, where Jim Rathmann reportedly ran its supercharged straight-eight up to an unofficial record of 131.1 MPH. And still others – like the Macauley coupe – seemed to have been built expressly as executives' cars.

Nor were many of them pure one-offs. Six Pan Americans were eventually built, four Panthers, two Balboas, and two Monte Carlos. In all, Marano said he has amassed both 1953 Monte Carlos, the Request, two of the Panthers, two Henney-built one-offs, the Vignale, one Pan American, the Macauley coupe, and both Balboas (for those counting, that makes 12; he said that one of the Henneys and one of the Monte Carlos will not be joining the other 10 traveling to Amelia). The Predictor remains in the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana, for perpetuity (though Marano said he calls the museum up once a year just to let them know he'll take it off their hands if need be), and Marano said he knows the whereabouts of the other two Panthers and four more Pan Americans.

While Marano has displayed his concepts and one-offs en masse before – at the Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance in September 2009 – that showing included six of the cars. In addition to four more cars, Marano said that this showing will be the first for the freshly restored Request and Monte Carlo.
The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will take place March 7-9, 2014. For more information, visit AmeliaConcours.org.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1951 Packard 200 Deluxe
While postwar Packards may not always generate the same interest as period cars from rival brands, this 1951 Packard 200 Deluxe four-door sedan for sale on Hemmings.com may be the exception. It's seen just 82,000 miles pass beneath its wide whitewall tires, and the inline eight-cylinder engine between its front fenders is the same one installed at the factory in 1951. The car's recently received a new front and rear bumper (with optional bumper guards), new taillamps and a new interior. Even the maroon paint is said to be recent, meaning that this particular Packard needs only to be enjoyed by its next steward. From the seller's description:
Deluxe option with factory desirable Swan hood ornament, only 82K actual miles and looks it! Strong and quiet original big straight 8 and quiet. Will easily cruise at freeway speeds. 3 speed automatic called an Ultramatic and shifts great! New front and rear bumper and optional bumper guards.

Four-Links – mini Mercedeseseses, Cummins-powered Packard, the year they stole a Dakar car, abandoned Russian factory
* How can one man own every model Mercedes ever built? Easy: He owns every (scale) model Mercedes ever built. What's more, Mihail Neagu has taken to photographing them all, Michael Paul Smith style, and creating tiny people to populate his 1/18-scale worlds. (via)
* As we noted a few years ago, Clessie Cummins, in his efforts to get automakers to adopt diesel power, installed a Model U diesel engine into a 1920s Packard. Over at The Old Motor, Gene Herman recently posted some more information and photos of that exact diesel Packard.
* If you've been following the Dakar this year, you'll note the usual amount of misadventure. What you likely won't see, however, is the lead competitor's vehicle stolen, but that's exactly what happened in 1988, as Andy Hallbery wrote this week on Motorsport Retro.
* For a supposed abandoned Soviet-era automobile factory, the unspecified ZIS/ZIL one that English Russia recently posted photos of looks rather well kept.
* Finally, our research on opposed-piston engines this past week led us to many more examples of those strange and uncommon creatures as well as a history on the type by Edgar T. Westbury at ModelEngineNews.
Packards, the long and short of them
As we've seen previously, Andy, a.k.a. "HarborIndiana," has a thing for photochopping Packards that might have been, and his most recent three are some of the most compelling yet.
Two of them go along with what appears to be Andy's master plan for saving Packard, circa the mid-1950s. Calling on the hexagon's heritage, Andy resurrected the Twin Six name for a couple of V-12 concepts, including the sport coupe above and sport sedan below. More than just a lengthened hood, the two feature a nice mix of Packard styling elements from that era, including Patrician trim and Caribbean wheel wells. The judicious chop-n-channel on the coupe doesn't hurt either.
While the sport sedan could easily stack up against, say, the Lincoln Capri or Cadillac Series 62, the sport coupe would inhabit a gray area between the Chrysler 300 and Ford Thunderbird that wouldn't fill in until we started to see the likes of the Buick Riviera and other luxury sport coupes nearly a decade later. Odd that Andy hasn't yet turned the sport sedan into a town car.
The third of Andy's recent 'chops, however, takes a totally different tack:
Maybe instead of going gloriously big, as with the Twin Six revivals above, Packard should have severely downsized with a Twin Two city car, mimicking the BMW Isetta and other microcars. Presumably Andy meant for the Twin Two to be powered by a V-4 engine in the rear, and the front would have hinged up something like the Isetta. Probably would have gone over like a lead balloon, but if Packard was doomed anyway, then why not?
We're guessing Andy noted the comments on the extreme cab-forward photochopping post questioning where one would put doors and an engine on those concepts and decided to answer them in his own inimitable way. And then proceeded to apply the same line of reasoning to the 1968 Dodge Charger III concept car, the Cadillac Cimarron (or, as he calls it, the Cim-moron), and the Pontiac Aztek. Actually, he made the Aztek look much better by turning it into a city car…
Speaking of extreme cab-forward photochops, Scotty Gilbertson did an excellent job applying that theme to the Ford Ranchero, Dodge Rampage (and again), Volkswagen Caddy, and the AMC Pacer.
Got any wild photochops of your own to share? We'd love to see them on the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool.
UPDATE (8.January 2014): Indeed, Andy did chop up a towncar version of the Packard sport sedan, and Scotty also added a cab-forward version of the Crosley pickup.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1955 Packard 400
The seller of this 1955 Packard 400 for sale on Hemmings.com claims the car still wears the same paint and interior it left the factory with 58 years ago. The FrigiKing air conditioning system came later, but in-period, reportedly added in 1958. Assuming the information provided checks out, that makes this Packard survivor particularly attractive, and the ideal weekend driver for someone looking beyond the typical Fords, Chevys and Chryslers of the period. With only 7,206 of the distinctive two-door hardtops assembled in 1955, chances are good you won't run into another at your local haunts. From the seller's description:
Amazing Original Packard 400 2dr HT Steel unibody V8, Great original paint and chrome, great orig int, Orginal FrigiKing Car Air Conditioning, 1958, with Corporate Letter with manuel..Good solid body, v8, auto, ps, pb, runs & drives Amazing. Very straight car, completely original.
To refresh the styling of the Packard line in 1955, the Packard 400′s received a grille design that was considered to be 'more modern'. With hooded headlight housings, cathedral-styled rear tail light and a new exterior trim layout that offered two and three tone paint combos, the 1955 model gained a sharp new look.
Newly outfitted with a wrap-around windshield, making it more in line with American automobiles of the times, the new trim at the base of the rear pillar made it seem like a new redesigned roof line.
Part of the reason people held on to their Packard vehicle for so long was due to the quality of the vehicle. Packard's were the ultimate cars in both luxury and comfort.

The top 10 Hemmings Daily posts of 2013
1957 Plymouth Savoy. Photo courtesy RKM Collector Car Auctions.
Every year we read all the cynical backlash against the end-of-year proliferation of lists of most popular stories, and yet every year we compile another one. We do so both because it's natural to get a little nostalgic for the year that was and because you, the reader, made these stories popular by choosing to read them, so we want to celebrate (and learn from) your input. So thank you. While we're reviewing 2013, we can't overlook the personnel changes around these parts. Hemmings Daily contributors David Traver Adolphus and Kate Sullivan might have left us to pursue other opportunities, but we've added the bylines of regular Hemmings Daily writer Kurt Ernst and home office editorial staff contributors Tom DeMauro and Dan Beaudry to the mix. So, enjoy this review of the hits of 2013, and we'll see you next year with more great stories from around the collector car world.
#10 – Why did GM buy another auto company's historic factory? Old auto factories – from Willow Run, to Detroit's Packard plant, to a long-forgotten piece of Chrysler history in New Jersey – figured heavily into the news this year, but no such story ranked higher than the one from May exploring the reasons behind GM's purchase of the old Durant-Dort Carriage Company factory in Flint, Michigan. Short answer – it and the nearby office building are considered to be where GM's inception took place.
#9 – Garage-find Jaguar E-type sells for $168,000. Collectors may very well remember 2013 as the year that Jaguar's E-type became a big-money car. RM set an auction record last month by selling one for $467,500, but back in the spring another one, not nearly as clean and showing the scars of a life of neglect, had the world talking when it sold for $168,000 at a Bonhams auction.
#8 – Famous Detroit-area junkyard Warhoops sold. Warhoops in Sterling Heights, Michigan, had been open since 1956, but most of the collector car world didn't really hear of it until Joe Bortz bought four GM Motorama concept cars out of the junkyard in the late 1980s. The junkyard remains open under its new ownership, but to many in the area, the sale marks the end of an era that stretches back to Harley Earl's days at GM.
#7 – "Found in crate" Willys MB Jeep to cross the block. We've all heard the tantalizing urban legend of entire World War II-era Jeeps (and other drool-worthy military equipment) found crated up in warehouses, unused in the war effort – an offshoot on the barn-find meme. And despite a number of debunkings, the urban legend appears to remain alive and well into the 21st century, as we saw from a 1944 Willys MB Jeep offered at a Bonhams auction in June.
#6 – September 11 memorial Chevrolet Nova for sale for $30 million. Much of the ensuing discussion focused on the relative position of rear axles in Seventies Novas. That is what makes our readers the best.
#5 – Three Chevrolets stolen from Monterey auctions. We hear of stolen collector cars on a regular basis and try to put alerts out for them whenever possible. But it's rare to see collector cars taken from auctions, particularly from high-profile auctions such as those that take place in and around Monterey during August. We have yet to hear whether any of the three – two 1961 Chevrolet Impala SSs and a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air – have been recovered.
#4 – Barn-find 1929 Packard emerges after 50 years, wins best of show its first time out. Barn-find stories will never cease to be popular, and major concours events have indeed begun to recognize the art of the unrestored car, as we saw at this year's Elegance at Hershey. But it was another show-winning barn find – a 1929 Packard Model 633 that emerged from a 50-year slumber in the Adirondacks this past summer – that caught readers' attentions.
#3 – Squirreled-away 1957 Plymouth Savoy with 31 miles to cross the block. It might not have won any best-of-show awards, but the 1957 Plymouth Savoy that RKM Collector Car Auctions offered in October still proved noteworthy for its ultra-low mileage and the story of the Mopar dealer who inexplicably kept the two-door club sedan looking factory fresh in a Texas barn for a couple decades.
#2 – Sports Car One: The first Nash-Healey restored, heads to auction. Also out of Texas came the story of the first Nash-Healey, beautifully restored and auctioned off earlier this year. What drove the conversation about this car, however, was the claim that it represents the first purpose-built American sports car.
#1 – The collection of Lambrecht Chevrolet auction stories. In June, we were the first to bring you the story of the Lambrecht Chevrolet dealership collection headed to auction, but we were by no means the only news outlet to cover the build-up to the VanDerBrink-run auction this past September or the auction itself. The hype almost became its own story and caused tens of thousands of people – bidders and spectators alike – to descend on the town of Pierce, Nebraska, and when all was said and done, the top sale – a 1958 Chevrolet Cameo pickup with 1.3 miles that sold for $140,000 – generated even more headlines. Special thanks to correspondent Rocky Rotella for covering the auction that weekend while the rest of the Hemmings editorial staff was occupied with the Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance.
Honorable Mention #1 – Pageviews and visitors are one way of gauging interest in a story we post on the Hemmings Daily; another is the number of comments a story generates. So while a couple of stories didn't make the top 10 list above, they still generated as many or more comments than any of the above stories. The first of which was Jim Donnelly's January story about Fox's conversion of Speed TV to Fox Sports 1, an all-sports cable channel. Judging from the volume and the tone of the responses to that story, plenty of readers ditched their cable subscriptions this past year.
Honorable Mention #2 – Though not a typical news story, the Open Diff post from August inviting everybody to vent their automotive pet peeves still drew more comments than any other story this year and provided an interesting insight into the collective psyche of the Hemmings Daily reader.
Thanks to all of you for making Hemmings Daily a regular read, and we promise to deliver even more excitement and up-to-the-minute collector car news for 2014. And make sure you don't miss a thing by subscribing to our (free) newsletter if you haven't done so already.
From the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool – "Accent the mass, don't hide it"
If there's a car made that HarborIndiana can't photochop into a town car, he hasn't seen it. Yet while he makes sure every car can be chauffeur driven, as we've seen in a couple previous looks at his work, he's also been busy adding rather than subtracting visual heft to cars, as we can see with the Buick above, a car with all the right Sixties shapes and some Fifties flair that complements its lines.
Another Sixties Buick that he and fellow 'chopper Tyler Linner stretched like taffy. Lines that go on for miles.
He calls this one Imperius Maximus. We think Peter Paul Rubens would approve.
Had Packard not switched to a Studebaker platform in the late Fifties, would it have looked something like this formal and semi-sporting coupe?
Not all of his recent 'chops follow the bigger-is-better philosophy, however. Take the LaFayette and La Salle coupes above, very European interpretations of traditional American cars – not quite sports cars, but still low, racy, and sleek.
Simply shifting the cockpit of an FMR Tiger rearward (and removing anything to give a sense of scale) almost makes it look like a baby pre-war Mercedes-Benz.
Doing the exact opposite to a mid-Seventies Chevrolet Caprice results in a Deora-like cab-forward "what-the-hell Camino."
And finally (for now), perhaps HarborIndiana's most ambitious photochop to date, a dropped, chopped, and anti-sectioned 1958 GMC pickup amid an counter-Rockwellian scene. Make of it what you will.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1948 Packard Eight Station Sedan
We've seen several Pack-ups here and there over the years, but none built from a station sedan – Packard's postwar woodie wagon – as is the case with this 1948 Packard Eight Station Sedan for sale on Hemmings.com. Whoever buys it will have to contend with some rust along with all the issues that come along with any customized car and with any project car, but would end up with a unique vehicle – provided they don't restore it back to a station sedan. From the seller's description:
This rare Packard was converted from a Woody Station Sedan to a Pick up Truck. Only original wood paneling remaining is the tailgate of the wagon. Original engine, (327ci), manual transmission and overdrive. Includes rebuilt 288 ci engine, Included in price, are two extra front doors (L & R) correct radio, and rear skirts.

Inaugural Arizona Concours to honor Packard, Maserati

Packard and Maserati will share the spotlight as honored marques at the inaugural Arizona Concours d'Elegance in Phoenix, January 12.
Maserati will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014, making it a perfect choice for center stage at the concours. Packards, of course, are perennial classic car show favorites, no better illustrated by the fact that a 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Dietrich Convertible Victoria won the coveted Best of Show at Pebble Beach in August.
Organizers recently announced that concours judging veteran John Carlson will serve as chief judge. Carlson is a master judge for the Classic Car Club of America, and a chief class judge for the Pebble Beach Concours and the LeMay/Kirkland Concours, as well as chief judge for the Hilton Head, Cobble Beach, Crescent Beach and Louisville concours events.
1937 Maserati 6CM grand prix car.
The Arizona Concours d'Elegance will take place January 12 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Hotel, just a few days before RM's Arizona auction takes over the facility on January 16-17. Organizers staged the concours to coincide with the beginning of auction week in Arizona when collector car auction houses Barrett-Jackson, RM, Russo and Steele, Bonhams, Silver, and Gooding & Co. overtake Scottsdale, Phoenix and the surrounding area.

Barn-find 1929 Packard emerges after 50 years, wins best in show its first time out
Photos courtesy Paul Tacy.
Paul Tacy wasn't even sure he had the right place. The Adirondacks are full of long-forgotten barns, garages, and other structures, and nothing on the outside of this particular white ramshackle shed gave a clue as to what lay within. A no-trespassing sign tacked to the front looked like it had weathered there since at least before the Reagan administration, leaves and pine needles had carpeted the roof, and a good six inches of dirt and detritus blocked the doors. Still, Paul wedged one of the doors open a little bit, reached his hand and a camera inside, and took perhaps the first photo in more than 50 years of the 1929 Packard Model 633 Runabout that would become his and that would, with a little work, go on to win a best in show award on its first outing.
Paul, who comes from a long line of Packard enthusiasts and collectors, said over the years he and his family had heard of a Packard tucked away in the Adirondacks, but chalked up the stories to urban legend. "We heard so many things, we didn't know what was what," he said. It wasn't until he heard the same story from Chuck Stoodley that Paul began to assign some legitimacy to the stories. "I kept following up with Chuck until finally he was able to remember the name of the road – Charley Hill Road in Schroon Lake – which is just a half-hour from my house."
Charley Hill Road seems to be one of those places in the Adirondacks that has two types of inhabitants: the native homesteaders whose families settled there centuries ago, and the upper-crust downstaters who build second homes for weekend getaways and winter ski trips. The Seagle Music Colony, which trains opera singers, is located on Charley Hill Road, and a 2011 book by Joanne Treffs, From Wall Street to Charley Hill Road, details the history of the socialites and locals who live there. Paul just had to cruise up and down the road until he found a likely hiding place for the Packard, and as it turns out, the title of Treffs's book could very well apply to the Packard.
"The Packard was bought in Glens Falls in July 1929 by a man who worked
on Wall Street in Manhattan and whose family lived in New York City," Paul said. "He always kept it at the house in Schroon Lake, which was the family's summer home, and when he died sometime in the 1960s, the family just walked away from the house and the property. They still paid the taxes on it, but they didn't go up there at all."
After finding the Packard this past May, Paul then made the right inquiries and got in touch with the family that owns the house and the Packard. "I don't think they ever had anybody serious about buying it approach them," he said. "I invited them to come see my family's Packard collection, and once they saw that we're fourth-generation collectors, they felt comfortable selling the Packard to me." So in July he returned to Charley Hill Road, this time with a trailer and a backhoe.
"There was really no other way to do it," Paul said. "We had to build and cut a driveway into where the car was stored. I had to cut down the trees that had grown up in front of the garage, and then pull out the stumps because I didn't want them to puncture the tires."
And then, with a path clear to the Packard, he was finally able to open the doors and assess his prize.
When Packard discontinued the "entry-level" six-cylinder after the 1928 model year, the Standard Eight replaced it as the least expensive of the luxury car's lineup when Packard introduced its Sixth Series for 1929. Fitted with a 90hp nine-main-bearing 319.2-cu.in. straight-eight, the Standard Eight came in two flavors: the Model 626 on a 126.5-inch wheelbase, and the Model 633, on a 133.5-inch wheelbase. The only Standard Eight roadster (or, in Packard parlance, Runabout) sat on the latter chassis and came standard with the rumbleseat. One of about 17,000 Model 633s built, the Charley Hill Road Packard's disc wheels were standard, but the dual sidemounts were optional.
As Paul found the 99,000-mile Packard, it had sunk to its axles in the dirt, and animal droppings had littered the rumble seat area. A couple of tires had remained in good shape, while a couple others "are smooth as a baby's bottom." The dust of decades covered it, but it didn't appear to have any significant rust and nothing appeared to have gone missing to souvenir hunters over time.
"I almost felt bad washing it," Paul said, but doing so revealed the vibrant red accents and a host of details that he hopes will help Packard and automotive historians, even down to the 1954-1955 New York City tax sticker and 1959-1960 New York State inspection sticker in the windshield.
Such a long rest, however, had not been kind to the straight-eight. While still intact, the engine had frozen up solid, Paul said, so he enlisted the help of his father, Peter, in tearing the engine down and freeing it up. At the same time, they took the three-speed transmission apart just to be sure it wouldn't scatter the first time Paul tried to drive it. Over the next couple of months they inspected and reassembled the drivetrain, with Paul buttoning it up last Friday night.
Though not in a hurry, Paul did have a deadline to get the Packard running: It was scheduled to appear at Saturday's Fall Classic Car Show at Wolfert's Roost Country Club in Albany, the inaugural running of the invitation-only show. For Paul's efforts, he took home a Best in Show trophy, and no less, he took the Packard back out the following day for the Mills Mansion car show, where he met up with the son of the Packard's original owner.
Paul certainly has no plans to restore the Packard and said he's beginning to talk with experts on how best to preserve the Packard so it doesn't deteriorate any further. "I'd like to start hitting the preservation classes with it," he said. "Showing it has been fun so far with all the excitement that the story generates."
UPDATE (25.October 2013): According to local lore, it appears the Packard had been out of the barn at least once since the 1960s. Reportedly some kids had taken it for a joyride around town in the late 1960s. Once the family had recovered the Packard and tucked it away again, they removed the front left wheel (as seen in the top photo) to prevent any future joyriding.

Manslaughter sentencing for Sedro-Woolley coupleOctober 29, 2013 @ 4:59 am
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) - A Sedro-Woolley couple convicted of manslaughter in the death of their adopted daughter face sentencing Tuesday in Mount Vernon.
Larry and Carri Williams were convicted Sept. 9 in the 2011 death of Hana in the back yard of their home. The young teen died of hypothermia, and the autopsy also noted malnutrition.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports prosecutors are recommending a sentence of 27 to 37 years for Carri Williams who also was convicted of homicide by abuse. They are recommending a sentence of 14 to 18 years for Larry Williams, who was not at home at the time of the death.
Both also were convicted of assault of a child for punishing a boy they adopted in 2008 from Ethiopia at the same time as Hana.

Trail of the unexpected: Cambodia - for king and country
Lara Dunston watches as thousands mourn the death of their monarch in Phnom Penh
Friday 26 October 2012
At 3pm it is blisteringly hot in Phnom Penh. This is not an hour when Cambodians, accustomed to the fierce heat of their sultry tropical climate, would normally be on the street. But 10 days ago, Cambodians made an exception.
It was the beginning of a week of mourning: the body of their King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who had died of a heart attack a few days earlier in Beijing, had been brought home.
Tens of thousands of Cambodians came out in the sweltering heat to offer their respects, lining the broad boulevards of this former French colony, from the airport on the outskirts to the Royal Palace at the centre of the city.
I waited with them on the waterfront boulevard near the palm-lined promenade of Sisowath Quay and the Tonlé Sap, a tributary of the Mekong. It was so hot that a Cambodian family of eight crouched in the shadow of a colossal black four-wheel-drive to shelter from the blazing sun. Others sat cross-legged on the kerb, dressed in their mourning clothes of white shirt and long black skirt or trousers, a black ribbon pinned to their chests. They held clusters of incense sticks, candles and water lilies, while at least one in every group held a portrait of a dapper-looking, grey-haired gentleman in a gold frame. Some flapped a lace fan in front of their faces. Some stood behind their group, shading them with umbrellas.
A group of dazed-looking backpackers, wearing too few clothes for such a significant event, ambled along the nearby waterfront, searching for some shade. I joined the family squatting beside the big fancy car.
Norodom Sihanouk was 89 when he died – an age that few Cambodians have reached. Perhaps 300,000 died in the conflict that brought Pol Pot to power in 1975, with two million more falling victim to the notorious killing fields of the tyrant's Khmer Rouge regime over the next few years.
Some Cambodians had joined the crowd merely out of curiosity, keen to catch a glimpse of the gold casket atop the extravagantly gilded funeral "barge". This majestic vessel, which traditionally transported royal figures along rivers, took the form of a flamboyant Naga-headed float on wheels to carry the former king from his plane to the palace, where his body is due to lie in state for three months.
Most, however, were not here just to capture the spectacle on their camera-phones. They had come to pay their respects.
The older Cambodians were clearly more moved, many weeping openly. Later, once the casket had passed by and was through the palace gates, many moved closer to the glittering Preah Thineang Chan Chhaya, the "Moonlight Pavilion", festooned with fairy lights and flowers and a monumental portrait of their King-Father.
They knelt on the manicured lawn in front of the pavilion, on the concrete paths that criss-crossed the square, and on the gravelly road traditionally used for parades, listening to the many monks who sat cross-legged with them, chanting prayers. They gently threw their lilies on to growing piles and placed candles on the concrete to create circles of light that they kept illuminated throughout the night. They crowded around a table of bound blank-paged books where they patiently waited their turn to record their feelings about the King-Father, their friends shining their mobile phones so they could see to write.
King Norodom Sihanouk was a complex man whose 60-year career was significant, if controversial. Lauded by many for taking his country from a French colony to an independent state, he was also criticised by some for not doing enough to prevent the Khmer Rouge from coming to power in 1975, nor to topple them later. At various times he was a king, a prime minister, a Communist, a leader in exile, and later, once more, a king – until 2004 when he abdicated to allow for his son to take over.
Whether in power or not, whether in Phnom Penh or Beijing, Norodom Sihanouk believed he was Cambodia. And so too, it seems, did many Cambodians.
Those who stayed lit the incense sticks that they'd carried all afternoon, poking them into the grass and sand, creating mini bonfires that were put out with water bottles by whoever was around. At first the incense produced fragrant plumes, initially pleasant. But later, late into the night, and over the course of the following week – out of curiosity, I found myself returning again and again – the air became thick and pungent.
For many Cambodians, the King-Father's death is symbolic: some hope that with their king will go Cambodia's tragic history.
Maybe now, I think, after witnessing 10 days of mourning, and 10 days of tears, Cambodians can finally move on.
