Ralph Marano - Packard Collector

A Lifetime of Collecting

Ralph Marano has been a Packard collector for half of his life. His collection of Packard concepts is one of the most extensive in the world. Marano decided several years ago that he would try to acquire all of the extant Packard show cars.

A Family Affair

Marano's introduction to classic cars came when his father and he purchased a 1937 Packard. He has since acquired a 1934 Cadillac V-16 Convertible Sedan and a one-of-one 1952 Packard Pan American. Marano owns Marano Sons Auto Sales in Garwood, New Jersey, and has been in the family business for over 35 years.
