Most interesting, thanx for posting. Is this why it's called PAKistan? 
So now it seems that the founders of at least two present countries were Packard owners. The George Washington of Finland, Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, also had a Packard - a '38 V-12 limo - during WWII along with a M-B (gift from Hitler, with whom the Finns sided not without distaste vs. their greater enemy, Stalin, until the war was safely against Germany). I understand from Nordic friends that he preferred the Packard (which is extant, having been restored in the '70s-80s from a complete wreck).
