Well, get this – a fresh batch of the fancy 1934-style Packard Motor Car replica is about to hit the road, straight out of a new plant in Medina, Ohio.
From ZeroHedge:
The little known Packard Motor Company, previously known for high-quality, luxury automobiles manufactured before World War II, is on the cusp of its revival.
James Ward Packard and his brother William started Packard Electric Company in 1890 to make carbon arc lamps. In 1893, they teamed up with George L. Weiss, an investor in Winton Motor Carriage Company, to form Packard & Weiss.
The first Packard car debuted in 1899, and in 1902, the company became known as Packard Motor Car Company.
Now, the company has opened a new plant in Medina, Ohio several weeks ago and is going to be producing a 1934-style convertible as its flagship product.
It's truly impressive witnessing the resurgence of classic American craftsmanship in vehicles. Hopefully, this kickstarts a trend for other U.S. companies to reintroduce top-notch manufacturing.
After all, that's what originally set our country apart in the realm of automobiles so many years ago.
