Sobre IBD

For decades, Packard stood as the undisputed symbol of American luxury, engineering brilliance, and understated refinement. From its beginnings in Ohio at the dawn of the automotive age to its rise as one of Detroit’s premier automakers, Packard captured the imagination of the public and the respect of engineers around the world. Its cars graced the driveways of presidents, titans of industry, and discerning drivers who sought excellence without compromise.But as the American automobile industry shifted in the postwar years, Packard faced challenges it could not overcome-fierce competition, changing consumer tastes, and the brutal realities of industrial consolidation. The company’s eventual merger with Studebaker and its quiet disappearance marked the end of an era.Packard: Ask the Man Who Owned One charts the complete history of this remarkable company in meticulous, narrative-driven detail. From breakthrough innovations and world wars to design triumphs and boardroom missteps, this book paints a vivid portrait of one of the most storied names in motoring history-and the enduring legacy it left behind.
