Packard is a former American luxury automobile manufacturer that was founded in November of 1899. The manufacturer became defunct in 1958 when it became a part of the Studebaker company, a rival manufacturer.

The last Packard cars rolled off the assembly line in 1957 and 1958, however, were badge engineered as Studebaker cars.

An attempted revival of the brand occurred in 1999, in which a Packard Twelve concept car was produced and ultimately sold off for $143,000.

Chassis

As early as 1912, Packard manufactured truck chassis, in which bus bodies were applied, such as the G. C. Kuhlman Car Company.

Four buses (numbered 20-23) were known to be operated by the Toronto Transportation Commission, of this type.
