Packard

Unlike its contemporary luxury carmakers, which mostly produced one-of-a-kind, limited production automobiles, Packard built high-quality vehicles in volume while still turning a profit. Consequently, it was the only independent luxury car builder to survive the Great Depression. This is the complete story of Packard, from its earliest days in 1899 through its final demise in 1958. Archival b/w photos, as well as beautiful new colour photos, accompany a thoroughly researched text.
