Packard
James Ward Packard had been very disappointed with the Winton car that he had purchased. Winton said that if Packard thought he could make a better car he should and so with the help of two former Winton workers the first Packard was built in 1899.During World War II the Packard Motor Car Company sold the dies for both the Junior and Senior Packards to the USSR. The Packard would live on in the form of the ZIS. Therefore all Packards from 1946 wered basically Clippers.
