Packard, one of the oldest & most respected names in American motoring, had a similar problem...They had an EXTENSIVE collection of priceless archives, records, significant vehicles from the earliest days of the company, but in 1952, when they were more or less in their death-spiral, they got in a new President, James Nance, who ordered virtually all of it scrapped. Some was saved by a few company stalwarts, but MOST of it got shit-canned. The loss was nearly incalculable.
