5.0 out of 5 stars A complete book, December 30, 1999

By	Keith A. Miller (Oregon) - See all my reviews

If you love Packards this is a must have book. Clearly the most complete book regarding all things Packard. Photos are representative of the different era of production up to the last model of this great automobile builder. A balanced mix of facts and story so that the true Packard nut can find technical facts to his(or her)heart's content and the casual reader will not be bored with them.
