That is because Packard died in 1958

What you have pictured is a Clipper, the "Chevy" of Packards. Nice cars, but the low range from the company.

*** USELESS TRIVIA ALERT ***

Packard bought Studebaker in 1954. Studebaker basically lied about how solvent the company was and the deal was done. It was only later that the Packard acountants found out that the break even point for Stude was not an additional 20,000 cars, but an additional 200,000 cars! Studebaker sucked the life out of Packard and Packard itself went out of the car business in '58 leaving Studebaker to lurch along until 1965!

Two interesting things about this company. They entered into an agreement with Daimler Benz in 1958 to import Mercedes and was the exclusive importer until MBUSA was formed in 1966.

Studebaker-Packard also owns/owned these companies

• D.W. Onan & Sons - Generators
• Cincinnati Testing Labs - Plastics Research
• Gering Plastics - Plastics Manufacture
• Clarke Floor Machine Company - Fork Lifts, etc.
• Gravely Tractors - Quality lawnmowers
• Chemical Compounds Company - Maker of STP additives

*** END ALERT ***
