Coachbuilt, Lincoln-Based “Bayliff Packard”
Ah, Packard. It was once one of the proudest, and most impressive, American automakers. It met something of an undignified end, having been purchased by Studebaker in the mid-1950s and with the final vehicles little more than rebadged Studes.

A True Minivan: The Cushman Vanster
Okay, so it’s really a microvan. Anywho, if you don’t know Cushman, you probably haven’t paid much attention to the meter maid parking enforcement vehicles used in urban centers. These are sometimes road legal and are generally represent minimalist transporation, sometimes inside industrial facilities. Today’s feature vehicle is a Cushman of the four-wheel variety (some…
