A 1936 Packard
The 1936 Packard was advertised as "An exceptionally good choice for the woman motorist."

Production of Packard cars began in a building at Chatham and Church streets but moved to a new plant on St. Luke road in 1933. 

What moved Packard to produce cars in Canada was the Canadian tariff hike that imposed a 35 per cent levy on Canadian carriages (where automobiles were quickly lumped.) 

The model above, a low cost six-cylinder, was marketed towards women because of it's 'dependability and easy handling'." Production ceased in 1939.
