3.0 out of 5 stars
Weak with an over-inflated title, September 18, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Illustrated Packard Buyer's Guide: All Packard Cars and Commercial Vehicles, 1899 to 1958 (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)
Despite the title, the book actually does not cover "all" Packard products.
In fact, it's very weak on commercial and professional vehicles,
with very few photographs or useful information. The author has done a
good job on the common models and the desirable models (like
convertibles), but glosses over much of the "custom", commercial,
and professional cars manufactured by Packard. If you are seriously
looking to buy a Packard, consider this as a starting point,
but do not rely upon it for prices, availability, or attempt
to use it as an authoritative reference. You'll find that, in the marketplace,
Packard automobiles are hard to locate in the concours condition
priced in the book, cost more, and more common models range
widely from descriptions due to customization by owners over the last
40-70 years.
