More Than Automobiles: The Packards of Warren, Ohio

Description

Stories about the Packards have been told many times throughout the years. Almost all of them have been related to the fine automobile that bears the Packard name. But the Packard family story is about much more than automobiles. It is of a close family of accomplishment, tragedy, business success, affluence and much more.

More Than Automobiles The Packards of Warren, Ohio focuses on the lives of Warren Packard and his five adult children, two generations from Warren, Ohio that contributed so much to their hometown and to America.

Part 1 contains chapters that chronicle the individual lives of the Packards of Warren. These are presented to provide a human face to each of them and to illustrate how the family interacted and worked together. Part 2 emphasizes illustrations and photographs of places, vocations and avocations familiar to the Packard family during their lifetime. While these include descriptions, the images themselves are intended to provide a stronger insight into the world that was theirs. Many of these are previously unpublished.

Written by A.J. Balfour a long time Packard enthusiast and has been collecting and studying Packard automobiles since 1954 when he purchased his first Packard at the age of 14. From one car lover to another this is a title not to be missed.
