Packard from its first generation to its last. Donald Osborne brings two Packards to the Garage, one on loan from the @AudrainMuseumNetwork in Newport, Rhode Island: a 1902 Packard Model F, one of four known to exist, and Jay's personal 1956 Packard Caribbean convertible, from the last year of the true Detroit-built Packards.
The story starts with a feud. James Ward Packard bought a Winton, complained to Alexander Winton, and was told to go build his own car. So he did. The Model F has a 3-liter, 12 hp single-cylinder engine, an H-pattern three-speed and a price tag that could have bought you two houses in 1902. Fifty-four years later, the Caribbean has a V8 with two four-barrel carburetors, reversible seat cushions and a self-leveling torsion bar suspension that Jay demonstrates live.
Which Packard gained more in the last five years? Watch to find out, then tell us which one you'd take in the comments.
Thanks to Reliable Carriers for bringing these cars out from the Audrain Automobile Museum.
