What is the background of the make / model?

Packard produced this model between 1915 and 1932.

Packard was founded in 1899 in Ohio by brothers James and William Packard. It quickly became one of the leading luxury car brands in the US, known for its cutting-edge engineering and beautiful styling. Packard was a pioneer in many automotive technologies, such as the use of aluminum engines and the first production 12-cylinder engine. Packard cars remained popular until the 1950s, when the brand was eventually discontinued due to changing tastes and increased competition.
