  • The Rise and Demise of the Packard Speedsters
    text by RONALD SIEBER photos WEST PETErsON the rise and demise of the Packard Speedsters Packard’s storied rise as a successful car manufacturer, whose origins date from a confrontation in 1898 between James Ward Packard and Alexander Winton, is well-known historical fact. From well-engineered plans and an attention to detail, this luxury automobile company steadily evolved and thrived by offering what its well-heeled customer base wanted, which in turn heavily influenced >>>>what Packard subsequently offered its customers in future years. Packard had produced a runabout model as early as 1904, and indeed a version of the Model L was raced by its design engineer, Charles Schmidt. The “Gray Wolf,” as it was known, set a speed record on Daytona Beach in January 1904, and Schmidt placed fourth in the first Vanderbilt Cup race in October, a significant drubbing of many larger, more powerful European steeds. Packards would occasionally do well in endurance and hillclimb competitions, but at the hands of privateers. Packard did not support a race team, nor did it delve deeply into the nascent but growing speedster phenomenon that was sweeping across America. Packard runabouts were large, open, cabriolet-style vehicles meant to cruise in style, a strategy that it adhered to up into the 1920s.
