These reductions have been made because the factory expects to announce in the Fall new cars which though the same in size and of characteristic Packard appearance, will have enough changes to classify them as new models. Many of these improvements and refinements have been in production for This, together with the fact that the new cars will be priced higher than the present cars were before the reduction, gives today’s purchasers a very great price advantage. And also, immediate use of the largest selling and most popular car in the fine car field. some time on current models. 14 14 14 Tuwo-thirds of those twho buy the Packard Standard Eight give up other makes of cars. Thousands prefer to buy out of income. Your used car will be accepted as cash and if of average value will more than make the down payment on a new car.
