  Packard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Ultramatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Packard, during this period, was suffering in competition with Cadillac, thanks to their popular self-shifting Hydramatic, which was available starting in 1941 and became very popular during 1946-1948.
Packard's new Ultramatic model introduced in the middle of the 1954 model year, was officially called: Gear-Start Ultramatic Drive, offering a new selector sequence on the column shift: 'D', for Drive, placed in between High, now represented with a simple dot, and Low (PN•DLR).
McFarland, his assistant John DeLorean, and their team were not satisfied with the improved pick-up of the Gear-Start Ultramatic, and modified the angle of the converter "pump" to allow a higher stall speed thus increasing the torque multiplication better suited to the torque curve of the new V8 engines.
