MHE EVENTNG STAR. WASHINGTON. D. .. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER AN INVITATION THE new Packard Standard Eight is here. We cordially invite you to call and see this long- rumored car. It introduces ten additional and beau- tiful new models into the Packard line. You will find the new car somewhat smaller and lighter in weight than the famous Packard Custom Eight—but powerful, fast and luxurious. It includes every refinement and improvement made possible out of a long experience in building cars with straight-eight motors, together with a number of important inventions among which is the new and exclusive Packard Shock Absorbing System. This system is a combination of Packard and European inventions and positively makes the Packard car not only the easiest riding car in the world but also the safest to drive— for the dangers of front wheel shimmy and steering whip have been absolutely eliminated. We want you to drive one of the new cars and put the Packard Shock Absorbing System to any test your ownership would ever call for. We know that you will buy no other car once you experience ihe ‘comfort and safety features it offers. Packard cwners and those who hope to become Packard owners will be delighted to see that the distinguished beauty of Pack;\ud lines has been preserved. Fundamental beauty can be but refined, and this Packard has done. No tribute has been paid to passing vogue for Packard cars far outlive any vogue that lasts but a year or two. Depreciation is largely a matter of appearance, and in this respect Packard has once more protected the interests of those who have bought as well as those who are to buy. When may we see you? Any interest you show in our new cars will be most courteously con- sidered. We do want you to know of their new features and in particular of the shock absorbing system which, together with the most luxurious upholstery ever used in Packard cars, makes each in truth—The Restful Car. The Packard Standard Eight is offered in two wheelbase lengths—126 and 133 inches. The prices range from $2435 for the luxurious five-passenger Sedan to $2835 for the Sedan-Limousine (prices at the factory). We will apply the valué of your used car against the first and monthly payments on a new one, if you prefer to buy out of income as so many do. And like many, you may find that the value of your used car will equal or exceed the amount of the first payment, leaving your largest cash outlay the amount of any one monthly payment.
