Description
Packards – Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that talks about the Packard Automobiles that were available in 1954. Under the headline stating that you should “Visit the Nationwide Spring Showing of the New Packards for ’54” it has a drawing of a Two-Door Packard Pacific hardtop, “One of 14 models in the Packard line”. This ad also has a picture of a Two-Door Packard Clipper Panama hardtop in the lower right hand corner of this ad. The ad tells us that “The New Look in Cars is That Packard Look. Your Packard dealer takes great pride in welcoming you to his special Spring Showing of the brilliant new Packards and Packard Clippers for ’54. These are exciting cars – quality built as only Packard can build them. They offer you far more power, more advanced engineering features, more convenience and relaxed driving comfort than any cars in Packard’s 55-year history. And they are truly beautiful. That Packard look is the superb refinement of advanced contour styling – pioneered by Packard and now setting the trend in all of today’s automotive design. This is the most complete line of Packards ever built with 14 models, 26 color combinations and 52 custom-tailored interiors available”.
