Six Degrees of Automotive Separation – Packard

If you’re a subscriber to Hemmings Classic Car, you should by now have received the February issue of the magazine, which we’ve devoted entirely to Packard. In honor of this special issue (or, if you don’t subscribe to HCC, in honor of our Lost Packard Dealership post from earlier this week), we’re devoting this week’s Hemmings Six Degrees of Automotive Separation Challenge to that famed marque.

Yes, we did include Packard in a Six Degrees Challenge back in July, but that was under the traditional Six Degrees format. This week, it’s a fox-and-hound format, so whoever chimes in first gets to suggest an auto company that the rest of you have to link to Packard in six degrees or less. Whoever answers that gets to suggest a new company, and so on.

As always, a degree of separation between two companies consists of one owning the other or one using the other’s parts.

(BTW, if you’re interested in the Packard woodie station wagon above, Kit Foster mentioned it briefly in his Hershey coverage from this year. Thanks, Kit!)
