Ahhh. Now that the Schwinn and Colson fans have been temporarily satiated (if that's possible), here's one to noodle your noodle. Just when you thought you had this Packard Bicycle thing all figured out, eh? But we're not talking Schwinn-Built, Cleveland Welding Company, Colson Corporation, H.P. Snyder or any of the other usual players. How about a Packard bicycle made by Hudson??? LOL.

Yesssss, Hudson Manufacturing Company of Hudson, Michigan made Packard bicycles for a wholesale distributor company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This advertisement ran in January of 1913. Original ad courtesy of National Bicycle History Archive of America (NBHAA.com).

Now. Let's sit back and see just how long it takes before stories about getting a free Packard bicycle when you bought a Hudson automobile start popping up!
