Sommer was the founder of the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance. “This will be a great opportunity for whole families to share memories and history together with the actual vehicles there to inspire stories.” “Our hunt to bring together the most famous and nostalgic trucks and commercial vehicles of America has been a real lesson in our industrial history,” said Don Sommer, Cars ‘R’ Stars PPG board member. The beloved Vernor’s truck featuring Detroit’s favorite beverage will be there, along with vintage milk trucks that made home deliveries and a 1977 Cadillac ambulance. It will be on hand with its famous sign and the Texaco gas jockey, made famous in the earliest days of TV. These include names and images that are part of a collective conscious, like the Texaco truck. This special gathering of vintage commercial vehicles and trucks is a great drive through history, featuring the sign posts of our culture. The special feature of this year’s event are historic commercial vehicles, including some of America’s most iconic trucks like the 1937 Ford Texaco Tanker, the 1947 Chevy Vernor’s truck, the 1920 Model T Depot Hack with elaborate wood paneling, a 1963 Plymouth Scout police car, the 1934 Ford Delivery featuring Kodak advertising, as well as the Australian 1934 Chevy “Ute,” Australia’s national vehicle with the tag line – “Real Aussie’s drive Utes.” And this year, it’s not just cars but trucks that are the stars of the show. The event features hundreds of vintage vehicles from all eras. Cars ‘R’ Stars PPG returns to the historic setting of the Packard Proving Grounds, located on Van Dyke and 23 Mile Road in Shelby Township, on Sunday, June 8.
