Re: The Packard Firsts List

I suggest that John get in contact with Richard Quinn, he has much Studebaker material including the Studebaker Inventions (firsts) lists, maybe he got Packard material too when SB closed.

Look him up on the SDC Forum.

In the end it's a bit of (to use an Aussie expression) a pissing contest "We did this" "We did that," Regardless, the Packard was and is still recognized as the best car in the world for its heyday, who invented what can never top that.

I understand the need for correct history, perhaps you can have a list of the "known" firsts and the "maybe" firsts.

In the end we (the rest of you) have our lovely cars to drive and enjoy.
