Add Packard history to your workspace with a mouse pad inspired by one of America’s celebrated luxury-car makers. Packard began building automobiles in Warren, Ohio, in 1899, then established its operations in Detroit. The company’s long arc included engineering advances, wartime engine work, and its later years as part of Studebaker-Packard Corporation. An appealing desk accessory for automotive historians, collectors, and anyone who enjoys the story of a changing American industry.
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.
