'Alvan Macauley of Packard' 'Detroit's Forgotten Automotive Pioneer', by Charles E. Flinchbaugh. Published in 2024, ISBN: 978-1-957962-42-9
Introduction: As a member of the Packard Club for the past 42 years, I-and perhaps others-have been waiting for a biography of Alvan Macauley. Since none have surfaced, and with the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2021 and 2022, it seemed the opportune time for an attempt.
I hesitate to call this a book. It is more a chronology of Alvan Macauley in his "own words" as written in the Annual Reports during his tenure with Packard as manager, vice president, president and chairman of the board. .... Each year's Annual Report is followed by photographs from Packard collections relating to Macauley's comments for each specific year.
Includes Packard vehicles from 1903 to 1952 with beautiful photos.
