In my experience, some automotive nameplates were not limited to only 1 bike manufacturer(?)...

With that caveat, all the Packard badged bikes I can recall were Colson built.

Here's my '36 Colson Packard I picked up here a few months ago. I believe Schwinn used that name as well.

Great thanxs for the info. I know as a fact back in the days big companies just threw there badges on all different bicycle. So i guess im going to need to get a pic of the bicycle an throw it up here to see what kind of bike this is. I searched around the internet for a while and only seen very little pick of packard bicycles pictures.

I don't have a close-up of my badge, but this is what mine looks like:

If it helps any bit the wheels are painted red with white pin striping. But i dont remember what the badge looked like.

Just so you know, my bike has the incorrect rims,fenders & light in that pic. I have since installed the correct parts, including triple-drop wheels and Delta Hornlite.
