About the Author
Born in 1912, Michael J. Kollins learned of automobile manufacturers
early, literally from reading hubcap designations in his father's Buick
shops. He began as a service technician for the Dodge Brothers. He then
moved on to work as Chief of Section, Technical Data and Service Engineering
for Packard Motor Car Company; and Service Technical Manager, Manager
of Warranty Administration, and Manager of the Highland Park Service
Center for Chrysler Corporation. Kollins has written articles for the
newsletter Wheels, and was co-author of a centennial publication of
the Engineering Society of Detroit, ESD Technology Century (1998).
