It's a ........ CROSLEY!!

Maybe a customized Nash Metropolitan!

Here's my 2 cents: It's definately a Buick, because of the ports on the front fender. The side trim looks like 1952 or 53. The wheel covers look like 1953.

UPDATE ! I think I finally figured out where this 1945 assembly line building was at. I was on Google Maps, looking at the sattilite image of the plant. I spotted a partially demolished roof...

Well, if it wasn't Building #22, how about this: Could it have been another one of the metal frame, shed roof buildings. I know there was one just North of the factory showroom, and another south of...

Hi 56 Packman. I just wanted to get a second opinion on something. Over the winter, i read the book "The Fall of the Packard Motor Car Co." by James A Ward. Also read parts of the the Packard book...

Hi Packman. I've got a question about the Packard Plant , in 1945. Thanks.

Hi Jim! There are also a bunch of videos on YouTube. The most recent shows the factory showroom, and the parking garage roof, where the ramp exits out.

I've got a couple of questions regarding HITSVILLE U.S.A. I looked it up on Google Maps, and the street view shows what looks like funeral wreaths, near the front steps. Does anybody know when...

Talked to my Mom yesterday. She said that George Kuhnle was my fathers boss, here at the Cleveland location. Don't know if he also was at Detroit. garybrey; how do you know of the name George...

garybrey: The company was owned by 3 brothers with the last name of Kurtz.

garybrey: I think my Dad worked in the shop ,while at the Detroit location. He worked at the Cleveland location until the mid-late 1960's. I remember the name Kuhnle. I believe he was one of the...

Regarding the Packard Factory Showroom : If you go to YouTube, and look up a video called : Inside the Packard Plant Part 1 by Scarface5991 , at about 4:45 minutes, you will see what is left of the...

Hi Django! I believe that # 37 is next to the one that was torn down last year. Thank You for the info Packman.

In a previous posting ,in January, Packman 41 provided some photos of the plant & mentioned that the new addition [[1940"s) included a restaurant. But prior to that addition, was there a cafeteria/...

Detronic : Here's my chicken info. I live in Northeast Ohio, about 25 miles south of Cleveland. When I was a kid, my Dad ALWAYS had a couple dozen chickens in the back yard. The roosters do crow...

Thank You Mike

Thank You Mike.

I think that the exit closest to the main office building, is probably for cars being sent back to the paint shop. One of the photos in " Making of Modern Michigan " shows 5 or 6 cars in the paint...

Hey Packman41, I've got a question for you. In your last posting, you showed us a floor plan drawing of the Packard from 1944. Looking at it, it shows the car assembly line as having an exit, on...

Well, like the title describes, I'm trying to find out some information about a gas station/ repair shop at E. Congress & Jos. Campau. My father worked there about 1939 - 1940. I believe it was at...

Hi Packman! Ya Know, last nite looking at that 1st birdseye view, it looked like there was a building going over the R.R. tracks. Sorry, my bad! That building was the Merlin production building...

Wow! Thank You Packman, for all that info. I had figured that the paint shop had to have been on the south end, because one photo showed the painted bodies on the dollies, on a track, being pulled...

I was looking at the website " The Making of Modern Michigan ", which had a bunch of old Packard photos, which included the assembly line snapshots. The post-war photos showed a " body drop " in...

I guess this is a question, for all the Packard Plant explorers. I was watching a Youtube video, which showed a group of people walking south over the East Grande Blvd. bridge. They went into the...
