Finally, at long last, the story is told. As someone who first talked with James J. Nance in the 1970s, I've been looking forward to the release of this interesting book. What I've seen so far has been meticulously researched and reveals so much that Packard fans never knew.

Hopefully this book will go a long way toward erasing myths while putting a proper perspective on JJN and his actual triumphs and tragedies.

I've already sent for my two volumes and look forward to some immensely riveting reading this winter.

Interesting to see JJN driving a 1958 Continental Mark III convertible on the Volume 2 cover. A car sold at Earle C. Anthony's dealerships and largely inspired by Packard Predictor. And in some ways, this Continental Mark III was not too very far from what the 1957-1958 Detroit-built Packard Caribbean would have been like... IF that Caribbean had ever reached production.
