Original 1951 Packard assembly line photograph group taken in Dublin, Ireland.

This sequence documents operations at the McEntagart Bros assembly plant, where Packard automobiles were assembled and distributed in the postwar period.

Packard’s overseas assembly operations are sparsely documented compared to domestic production, making original photographic material from facilities such as McEntagart Bros increasingly difficult to source.

The photographs capture:

• Packard vehicles in various stages of assembly and staging

• Exterior views of the McEntagart Bros facility

• Multiple completed Packards lined up outside the plant

• Workers, structures, and industrial layout of the facility

• Clear visual documentation of Packard’s overseas assembly presence

These are original vintage photographs, not reproductions, and were taken on-site as part of a larger 1951 European travel and competition album.

This type of documentation is rare, particularly for Packard’s international operations, and provides direct visual evidence of American automotive export infrastructure in Ireland.
