Confused by this:

   "While the Eight five-seater sedan had been the company's top-seller for years,[22] the Twin Six, designed by Vincent,[23] was introduced for 1932, with prices starting at $3,650 (equal to $68397 today) at the factory gate;"

The Twin Six was already around in at least 1916 (just do a quick google search), so this seems clearly inaccurate. I couldn't find a good source about when it was introduced though? Meekohi (talk) 21:00, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can not figure out what this paragraph is trying to say:

   "Packard acquired a sicker than realized Studebaker in 1953, the final plan for Studebaker-Packard merging with Nash-Hudson for a mega company better able to match Big Three tool amortization and unit costs, component purchasing power failed, all independents doomed, Rolls-Royce/Bentley surviving, for example, strictly as aside from their assembled, boutique cars their focus was on jet engines. The forlorn 1957 and 1958 "Packards" were only badge engineered Studebakers, built in South Bend."

1908 trip worth mentioning?

Looks notable, might have been the first in a Packard. A Family Tour from Ocean to Ocean: Being an Account of the First Amateur Motor Car Journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic, Whereby J.M. Murdock and Family, in Their 1908 Packard "Thirty" Touring Car, Incidentally Broke the Transcontinental Record Mapsax (talk) 02:06, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
