Automobile Quarterly Collection
The photographs made available by America's Packard Museum come from its Automobile Quarterly (AQ) collection. The brands and models currently available are a representative sample of the entire collection and more are added on a regular basis. AQ was a hardbound, advertising-free periodical, published from 1962-2012. Professional photographers shot all the images, and while AQ published some, only their staff saw the rest. Most of the images are color negative transparencies taken with 35mm cameras.
Online in Omeka as of November 2024: 52 brands, 248 models, 8,122 images.
More information on the Collection is found on the Museum’s Omeka image site.
