Packard Motor Car Company
Founded in 1899, the Packard Motor Car Company grew into one of America's finest automobile companies, producing cars that exemplified American quality and innovation. Packards were the cars of presidents, movie stars, and those with an appreciation for high quality. The company is known for producing a variety of automobiles, as well as marine engines for PT boats. The Packard represents the classic era of automobile manufacturing and remains one of the most sought-after collector cars. The Packard Motor Car Company was in existence from 1899 to 1957, but the golden era of Packard cars came to a close in the late 1930s. The images featured in this book represent the early years at the Warren, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan factories. The first Packard was built in 1899, and the company then went on to build the fifth car to climb Mount Washington and some of the finest record-setting racecars in the history of automobile racing. Packard Motor Car Company contains rare images from the Larz Anderson Auto Museum that were saved from the Packard factory and the personal collection of James Ward Packard when the company closed.

Packard
Only the legendary Packard could command a book of such scope and expense. This monumental work has required ten years of research, documentation and photography. It represents many more decades of collecting Packard automobiles, facts, photographs, technical data and information to record for all time every aspect, every model, every achievement of the Packard motor car and the men who made its name an emblem and international byword for taste and refinement in automotive design and engineering. Over three years were spent in intensive writing, checking, cross-checking, rewriting, coordinating, editing, and winnowing thousands of rare and unpublished historic photographs. This volume represents the scholarly efforts of sixteen contributors and was written by ten highly qualified authorities on Packard lore.Winner of a Cugnot Award.
"Ask the Man Who Owns One"
A major force in the American automobile scene through the 1950s, Packard made a mark on American advertising as well. The cars themselves seemed built for promotion--the red hexagon in the hubcap, the yoke grille, and the half-arrow belt-line molding acted as a logo of sorts, setting a new standard in visual continuity and branding. The company's image became so firmly established, in fact, that Packard eventually ran advertisements which pictured the cars but purposely omitted the name, instead asking readers to "guess what name it bears." This book traces Packard's advertising history from 1900 through 1958, based on original research that includes several first-hand interviews with the people who made it happen. Filled with reproductions of Packard ads (some in color), the book looks beyond the surface to examine how the advertisements reflect and interpret the company's management and business convictions, how they were influenced by business conditions and competitive pressure, and how they changed with the times.
Packard Automobiles 1920-1958
The Packard brothers James & William started the company in 1899 and in 1903, when the company moved to Detroit, it gradually became recognized as a producer of top quality automobiles. During the 1950s the company struggled as it faced competition from Ford, General Motors and Chrysler and in an attempt to reverse its fortunes in 1954, the company merged with Studebaker which proved to be a fatal mistake. Production of cars bearing the Packard name came to an end in July 1958. A total of 123 articles compiled from the world's leading motoring magazines.

Just Packards
Marque of Excellence ?Ask the man who owns one.? Packard Motor Car Company began its car-building days back at the turn of the century with such a simple slogan. It is a line that has become synonymous with the legendary nameplate, and it seems so appropriate. The company was so certain that its automobile was superior, it didn?t even need to brag. All it needed you to do was talk to a Packard owner. In Just Packards, the publisher of Old Cars Weekly brings back the great machines that made Packard a legendary American brand, from the glorious land yachts of the 1920s, to the ground-breaking Depression-era cars of the 1930s, to the fabulous, high-tech wonders of the 1950s. Revisit the cars that true automobile connoisseurs have admired for decades, and be reminded again why Packard, though it has been gone since 1959, will never be forgotten.
