During the 20's General Motors stock topped the list. John F. Shireman Posted on: 2008/6/13 19:47

I'm guessing "P". Probably available in some old newspapers of the time. When did they hit the DJIA and when were they pulled from the Dow??? Posted on: 2008/6/13 22:04

I think it may have been 1910 when Packard became a Michigan corporation succeeding the old West Virginia corporation. Posted on: 2008/6/13 22:26

Indian m/c company to PMCC stating his delight in the TwinSix. It is dated either 1915 or 1917. So the Twin six must have been a major butt tickler in it's day. Posted on: 2008/6/13 22:41

The land for the plant in Detroit was bought on 5/19/03. On 10/10/03, the company was officially a Detroit company. I don't know what the Packard symbol on the exchange was.

In Google Books, I found a reference to an old (1919) banking reference guide that lists the Packard Motor Car Co symbol as PAK. Posted on: 2008/6/13 23:08
