History Question: Body Shops 1928-31

Posted by rdsieber On 2011/2/8 11:15:18

I was reading the Kimes Packard book in Ch. 20 (pp. 420-425) and was confused by what Packards were made where in the 5, 6, and 7 series, etc.

Addresses were given for the diff body shops. Packard std production, Custom Body, Dietrich, Inc, and Murray Body all produced the standard and semi-custom bodies. I think.

It seems that the 6-cyls and 8-cyls were separated to diff shops, but where did the Twin Sixes go for bodies?

I'm confused. Can anyone out there help? Maybe suggest a book ref?

thanks in advance,
