A few nits to pick -- Packard never went out of business. They simply stopped making cars: Packards and Clippers in Detroit, 1956 and South Bend in 1958, Studebakers in South Bend in late-1963, Canada in 1966. Along the way they bought the Studebaker Corp. in 1954, changing their name to Studebaker-Packard Corp., changing again to Studebaker Corp. in 1962. After 1966, they made money selling items other than cars and trucks.

And, yes, there were many car clubs years ago. The Packard Club started in 1953, the Classic Car Club in 1952, and the AACA way back in 1935.
