Champagne and Classic Cars at the Hudgens Center for the Arts

1942 Packard 180 Rollson Town Car at Hudgens Center for the ArtsLast night the Hudgens Center for the Arts hosted its annual “Champagne and Classic Cars” fundraising event.  The classic cars on display throughout the evening included 1930 Packard Boat Tail Speedster, 1941 Packard Formal Sedan, 1942 Packard 180 Rollson Town Car, 1948 Packard Convertible, 1955 Studebaker Speedster, 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk, 1964 Studebaker R-2 Challenge Race Car and 1988 Lamborghini Countach.

In addition to these great classic cars, the evening guests were treated to champagne, hor d’ vours and music in the midst of the beautiful “Gifts from Africa” exhibit currently on display at the center.  Live music was provided by B.J. Chorale and the Stateline Grocery Barbershop Quartet, in addition to dance music from Black Tie Events.  Guests were also invited to help complete a work of art on display throughout the evening – a paint-by-numbers drawing of the 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk.

The finale of the evening was the raffle drawing for numerous beautiful and innovative gift baskets provided by local business sponsors and the live auction of other fabulous donated items.  All proceeds from the event tickets, raffle and auction support the continuing work of the Hudgens Center to promote fine arts in Gwinnett county.
