This is the anniversary of the last "true" Packard produced in Detroit.

'Twas a Patrician as I recall, 5682-3775. So Herr Berger, what activities are you recommending to commemorate the event?

We might hoist some Jack (black label) to a fallen friend.

Hi

Minor correction: 5682-4775, solid dark blue Patrician. R.I.P. Packard 59 years and counting.

Two years and one month on, July 25, 1958, 58L-8134, the last South Bend Packard, also a solid blue sedan.

Finally, three years, nine months, one day, April 26, 1962: "The "Packard" portion of the corporation name was dropped as it was "an anachronistic hindrance to our corporate image" so said the Studebaker board.....

Proud 1953 Clipper Deluxe owner. Thinking about my next Packard, want a Clipper Deluxe Eight, manual shift with overdrive.

Yes, of course - 4775, thanks for the correction. Chalk it up to a brain-lapse.
