Just curious, does anyone know WHEN Packard started printing owner's manuals?
I know the 1905 parts book is on this site, and the 1908 manual. But did they have something for the (1900) Model B for example, of which they sold 49 units? Hard to imagine some written reference did not exist.

The earliest I have found and own is from 1904. I have a print ad from 1899 and some other early 1900's as well.

Nice! Might you be so kind to show more of what's in that? š
Back in the day, you could only copyright a work by submitting physical copies to the Copyright Office. So I did some searching just now and found that the Ohio Automobile Co copyrighted a book called "Packard Automobiles" in 1901. The Copyright Office should still have it on file, but they do not digitize their records, so I or someone else would need to call and see if they have it and could get a digital copy. Note that this is referred to as the copyright deposit, not copyright record. Edit: Looking in WorldCat, seems like the Ohio History Connection Archives & Library may have a copy. I'll give them a call.
