"Packard: The Pride is an impeccable appreciation of the great Packard Motor Car Company, a celebration reflected in 32 Packard cars, from an 1899 Model A to a 1956 Caribbean. The cars tell the story of the company; stunning color photography and careful research tell the story of each car. Discovering how Packard managed to set styling standards year after year is easy to ascertain after diving into this coffee-table conversation piece, a volume in which some oversized page spreads are exclusively devoted to full-size images of models with crisp detail shots interwoven throughout. Much discussion is dedicated to the owners of the cars featured in this vibrant book, as is well-researched text that focuses on design with names like Rubay, Waterhouse, Rollston, Murphy, and, of course, Dietrich. More than 200 photographs are included."
