Every current Packard model is now a Packarc Eight. That, too, is well known. . But what is not generally appreciated is that Packard builds three complete lines of Packard Eight cars—the Standard Eight, the Custom Eight and the De Luxe Eight. The Packard cats in each line afe fundamentally alike in engineering design, in quality of mate- rials and craftsmanship, in the characteristic beauty of their body lines. Packard has but one standard. The models in the three lines differ in size, in detailed refinements of body embel- fishment and in the degree of individuality avail- able to the purchaser in color, upholstery and body styles. Today there is.a Packard Eight suited to the requirements of every man or woman who seeks more than mere transporta tion in a motor car.
