Although the postwar Packards sold well, the ability to distinguish
expensive models from lower-priced models disappeared as all
Packards, whether sixes or eights, became virtually alike in
styling. Further, amid a booming seller's market, management had
decided to direct the company more to volume middle-class models,
thus concentrating on selling lower-priced cars instead of more
expensive�and more profitable�models. Worse, they also tried to
enter the taxi cab and fleet car market. The idea was to gain
volume for the years ahead, but that target was missed: Packard
simply was not big enough to offer a real challenge to the Big
Three, and lacked the deep pockets with which a parent company
could shelter them, as well as the model lineup through which to
spread the pricing. As a result, Packard's image as a luxury brand
was further eroded. As Packard lost buyers of expensive cars, it
could not find enough customers for the lesser models to
compensate. The shortage of raw materials immediately after the
war�which was felt by all manufacturers�hurt Packard more with its
volume business than it would have had it had focused on the
specialty luxury car market. This vehicle is located in our
Milwaukee showroom. You can view this 1950 Packard Deluxe 8 in
