The rise and fall of the Packard Motor Car Company.

He spells out the company's successes, and (most importantly) its failures. The book includes many beautiful pictures, and a number of reproductions of documents.

Packard:The Complete Story
I was able to read my copy and I am glad I did not pay for it,in the very start of the book the Author Attacks the Automobile,The Internal Combustion Engine and would rather See modern Steam-Powered Cars,the photos are all black and white but the very beginning and the short pages and brief writing is what makes this book obnoxious which is undeserving of such a Marque.

The rise and fall of the Packard Motor Car Company.,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Packard: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
In this book, Mr. Scott recounts with resounding clearness the history of the Packard Motor Car Company from its creation in 1899 to its final disappearance in 1959. He spells out the company's successes, and (most importantly) its failures. The book includes many beautiful pictures, and a number of reproductions of documents.On the down side, the author begins the book with an attack on the internal combustion engine, something that seems strikingly out of place in such a book. Secondly, at times the author seems to lose focus, with the final chapters of the book meandering between a defense of his restored 1940 car, reminisces about Packards, and one final attack on fossil fuels. And my final complaint is that this book does not contain even one color photo. Overall, though, this is a very good book. If you are interested in Packards, you should read this book.
