Wear your appreciation for Packard’s storied automotive heritage with a quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by the marque’s history. Packard began producing cars in Warren, Ohio, in 1899, before moving its operations to Detroit and earning a reputation for luxury and engineering. Its journey included the Twin Six, wartime engine work, and the Studebaker-Packard chapter. This piece suits collectors and fans who value the people, places, and changing fortunes behind an influential American automaker.
Packard began building automobiles in Warren, Ohio, in 1899. James Ward Packard, his brother William, and George Lewis Weiss founded the business; investors reorganized it as the Packard Motor Car Company in 1902, and operations soon moved to Detroit, Michigan. Known for high-quality luxury cars, Packard became one of the “Three Ps” of American motoring alongside Peerless and Pierce-Arrow. Its history included innovations such as the modern steering wheel, passenger-car air conditioning, and an early production 12-cylinder engine. During World War II, the company made aircraft and marine engines, including Merlin engines under contract with Rolls-Royce. After civilian production resumed, Packard faced mounting competition and difficulties preserving its luxury-car position. In 1953 it merged with Studebaker, forming Studebaker-Packard Corporation; proposed consolidation with American Motors did not take place. The Packard marque was phased out in 1959 after declining sales of Studebaker-built 1957 and 1958 model-year cars. The last Packards were built in South Bend, Indiana, in 1958.
