Quote from the Old Car Festival handout:
"In august 1903, the Packard nicknamed "Old Pacific" completed the transcontinental journey from San Francisco to New York in record time. Tom Fetch, Packard's plant foreman, and journalist Manus Krarup drove 3,500 miles in 61 days, breaking by three days the record set that July by Dr. H. N. Jackson (of PBS "Horatio's Drive fame) in a Winton"
