Greetings,

   The National Packard Museum will be showing the John Penton movie on Saturday April 18th. starting at 7 pm. The Museum will be opening at 6 pm which will allow for folks to visit the displays before the movie begins. There will be an $ 8.00 admission fee for the evening. Popcorn and soft drinks will be available.

   I just confirmed with Jack Penton that he and John Penton do hope to attend and are looking forward to mingling with the attendees.

   One of the displays at the Museum is of the John Penton movie motorcycles. Included in the display are the NSU and BMW that John Penton rode "back in the day", and that were used in the filming of the movie. Also displayed is a BSA and an early Harley that were both used in the filming, and possibly the little Honda step thru is there as well, but my mind is a little fuzzy on that one.

  The link below will take you to the National Packard Museum website where directions and such can be found.

  A big thanks goes out to Bruce Williams who is the motorcycle display curator at the Museum for his dedication in keeping the motorcycle displays and events such as this coming along. I am sure that Bruce has a loyal group of helpers who also deserve much thanks...THANK YOU to all of you...

Hope to see you at the movie....:)

It was a great night spent with over 60 attending.  Attached is a link to some photos I took of what a terrific job the museum does.  JP is relaxing after a dog, some popcorn, and a soft drink.
