THIS
ENTIRELY new motor car creation is rightfully called the super car
of 1939. Here's why:
It gives you, in these days of crowded
streets, an extraordinary nimbleness and ease of handling,
combined with the power and luxury that only a big fine car
offer.
It gives you the smartness of the famous ageless Packard
lines, with a distinctive beauty all its own.
It gives you a
richness of upholstery, fittings and trim second only to the
Packard Twelve.
It gives you a specially-built Packard Power
Plant of 130-horsepower . . . performance with an incredible
deftness in traffic, a spectacular dash on the open road.
It
gives you all new Packard improvements that result in the
gentlest-riding, quietest cars on the road . . . the complete
Packard Safe-T-fleX Suspension; the exclusive Packard Fifth Shock
Absorber; the Packard noise-insulated all-steel body with
all-steel top; and many others.
And yet, this new Packard
Super-8 gives you all of these things at a moderate price. Such
super-performance and super-luxury have been availab127 heretofore
in cars approaching $3000 in price.
And you will find that it
is just the kind of car you have always longed to own . . . a car
that might have been built to your own personal specification . .
. a car that will go straight to your heart the minute you take
the wheel. |

To
describe the Packard Super-8 power plant as “a
straight-eight engine of 130 horsepower” is no description
at all.
Bare specifications indicate only its sheer pulling and
pleasing acceleration. They convey no hint of the whispery
quietness, the satin smoothness, or the casual ease with which
this Super-8 engine answers the touch of your toe.
It seems
impossible, when you first take the wheel of the new Packard
Super-8, that anything could better such supreme performance.
And
yet the new Packard Econo-Drive does just that – by letting
your engine run slowly, reducing revolutions-per-minute 27.8%.
The
effect can only be compared to coasting down hill with the engine
idling – a sensation of whispering, effortless
gliding.
These are reasons enough to want your Super-8 equipped
with Econo-Drive. Nevertheless, it is a double satisfaction to
know that it will soon repay you for its slight additional cost –
in saving on gasoline . . . in oil economy . . . in the very
considerable reduction of engine wear at cruising speeds. |
