This is truly an encyclopedic volumes on Packard. It contains endless details on every model, plus engines, mascots, and more. The font is too small and the odd page layout makes it sometimes a challenge. There is no discussion about labor relations at the company. Ask the reader that owns one.

Winner of the Society of Automotive Historians 1979 Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot Book Award
Who knew? In this catalog Krause does for cars what their other books do for coins. I sat in my car for about an hour looking up cars in this massive book - 1539 pages worth. I could only wish the pictures were bigger. Over 4500 pictures, 5000 histories of cars and companies from 1805 (haven't found the oldest one yet) to 1942.
The book goes into grand detail on the history.
The book also includes numerous photographs of old newspapers and people.
This book includes the management board of Daimler-Benz of 1986.
This book includes a long list of photo credits.
