Packard Model E Truck 1920's

Packard built trucks with the same attention to detail, strength, and quality that is applied to automobiles. Produced only from 1905-1923, Packard trucks are an overlooked part of the history of the marque.

This 1920 Packard Model E 3-ton should go a long way toward refurbishing the reputation and recognition of Packard trucks. It has been absolutely beautifully restored to better than new condition for the Miller & Hartman wholesale grocery company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania whose name -- along with client Anheuser Busch's Prohibition-era Bevo ('The Beverage') drink -- is proudly carried on the truck's screen size body. Miller & Hartman had a fleet of six Packard trucks in the 1920s and as the company's 125th anniversary approached it came upon this truck gathering dust in a Danbury, Connecticut lumber yard where it had reputedly accumulated only 16,000 miles since it was built. Offered for sale by its 94-year old owner because 'it's getting too hard to crank the old thing', it was the ideal vehicle to commemorate Miller & Hartman's long history. It was acquired in 1989 and immediately began a full restoration to its present magnificent condition.

This is one of the models that was made for the "Time Travel Berlin" VR game where you can travel to 20's Berlin streets.
