So you like commercial and livery Packards?

Here are a few that I copied from the Shorpy website.

1910 Tourist Auto Company sightseeing vehicles near the Tuller Hotel in downtown Detroit.

1914 customer service bus in front of the Elliot-Taylor department store in Detroit.

Hi Roger

Love to see these vehicle in their working days. Here's a image of the typical taxi situation and circumstance in which most of these toiled. Small wonder so few survive, looks pretty rough. This image found somewhere on-line, don't recall which site.
