North Atlantic Packards (NAP), is a Region of Packard Automobile Classics, Inc. (P.A.C.) / d.b.a. “The Packard Club.” We received our charter on April 10th, 1970. We welcome members that own Packards or anyone that has an interest in Packards; ownership of a Packard is not required. Our region includes all of the New England states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont — an area of more than 66,000 square miles.
The Region hosted the 1975 National meet in the Boston area, the 1986 National meet in Newport, Rhode Island, and the 2005 National meet in Boston (Danvers, Massachusetts), and will welcome the National Meet to Warwick, RI in 2026.
Much of the region’s present vitality is due to the organizational efforts of Ralph Fiorello during the early 1990s. Our board is constantly recruiting new members. With initial membership of fewer than 35, we have now grown to approximately 75 members.
Our Activity Chair and the NAP Board of Directors plan activities to accommodate the interests of Packard aficionados as well as their friends and families. Events range from car meets to historic tours to apple picking, and are planned to allow members from all over our region to join us, and we partner with other classic car clubs whenever possible. Family participation in activities is encouraged but not required.
