		Packard was a United States based brand of luxury automobile built by the Packard Motors Company of Detroit, Michigan, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana.
		Packard was founded by brothers James Ward Packard (Lehigh University Class of 1884) and William Dowd Packard in the city of Warren, Ohio.
		Packard's up-again and down-again sales continued, with a profitable year in 1955 thanks to the introduction of Packard's first V-8 engines that model year—although a complete retooling for the 1955 models resulted in products so poorly made that hundreds of cars had to be repaired by dealers before they could be sold to the public.
