Hi Clipper47

Thanks for your kind endorsement. This is what happens when you study a subject for 40 years. The curiousity to find out all I could about the auto industry from the beginning through the 1960's, all the independent companies as well as their competitors hit me in the late '60's.

Now, having read and absorbed lots of good automotive history books, every issue of SIA and thousands of others, I think I have a pretty complete picture of what happened and, more importantly, why

Packard's struggle and demise has been of particular interest, as you can tell.
