About This Item
Detroit, MI: Packard Motor Car Company, 1936. Oblong 8vo. 9 x 6 in. [12 pp (unpaginated)]. Colour-illustrated throughout, numerous colour plates reproducing the dealer posters for car models, colour tinted photo illustrations, text diagrams. Colour-illustrated softcovers, stylized cover art of Packard hubs, and Art Deco lettering in red, blue & silver on white background (minor toning & shelfwear to fore-edges, slight creasing to spine, very minor rubbing to corners), still VG bright copy, w/ former dealership stamp on front cover. First edition of this scarce original promotional brochure for the Packard 120 which was the mid-priced and more economical of the 8-cylinder autos, when Packard was still the premier luxury automobile, as well as the introduction of the Packard Six. The 120 models with two different trim packages included the Touring Sedan, Sedan, Club Sedan, Touring, Business & Sport Convertible Coupes. The Six was offered in the same styles, but smaller wheel base, less trim packages, and more economical. Unfortunately, Packard chose this period of time to expand into the midsize passenger car market, and this would later tag them during and after World War II as something less exclusive than the building of the finest luxury cars in America. No copies located in Worldcat.
