Today is the 56th Anniversary of the Announcement of the Closing of the Packard Headquarters/Proving Grounds & their move to South Bend, Indiana.
Via Autolife:
"The main entrance to the Packard factory complex in Detroit on August 15, 1956, the day its closing was ordered. Both Studebaker and Packard had been among the earliest car makers. Packard bought Studebaker in 1954 and formed Studebaker-Packard, but the company was unable to compete successfully against the Big Three."
