Packard warranty?

Does anyone have documentation on Packard's warranty? I know it isn't anything like today 100,000 miles or 10 years, but how long/miles did they guarantee a newly purchased automobile? Memory says 90 days, but I don't really know.

I believe it was 3,000 miles. In the post-war years. Isnt it covered in the Owner's manual?

As many times as I have read my owners manual, I missed the Dealer's guarantee. For 1956 it was 4,000 miles or 90 days. I would hazard a guess that was the norm for that period of time.
Thanks Kev, for the reminder.

The '54 Clipper Owner's Manual also states 90days/4,000miles.

As with the 34 models they came with a 90 day warrenty. I'm sure this would have been the norm for the company to provide a 90 day warrenty.

I believe it wasn't until the very early '60s that a 1 year 12,000 mi warranty was offered by Ford, and around '63 or '64, iirc, that Chrysler broke new ground with the first 5/50 extended warranty, which immediately boosted their sales.
