Photo Gallery «Packard 1899-1958 - at the head of the luxury brand division»

There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of which have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Packard, probably America's best-known luxury brand alongside Duesenberg. Founded in 1899, Packard built advanced comfortable cars that were characterized by their typical radiator shape and model consistency. In 1940, Packard installed the first air conditioning system in a vehicle. In the 1950s, Packards degraded to luxury studebakers and the brand was dissolved in 1958.
