WHEN
YOU VIEW the new
One Ten and One-Twenty, you'll find
it hard to believe that such fine cars can be priced so low.
And,
until this year, it couldn't have been possible to offer you so
much car for your money.
For these
s are the first
new models to benefit from Packard's recently-completed 4-year
expansion plan. In its entirety, this tremendous plan involved the
expenditure of millions for new plant expansion, new factory
arrangement, new production equipment... all so that manufacturing
costs, could be reduced and the savings passed along to you.
As
a result of this long-range program, you can now buy a Packard - a
fine car 100% worthy of the Packard nameplate - for a lower price
than ever before.
1940 Packard offers you so much more of
everything you want in a motor car that you'll never be quite
satisfied until you own one.

Over
all the cars on 1940's highways – this phenomenal new
Packard One-Sixty makes you monarch!
It's the new master of
America's highways! It earns this title in agile performance,
roadability and handling ease.
It has the most powerful
8-cylinder engine that any 1940 American passenger car can boast -
160 horsepower! More power per pound of car weight than any other
car you can mention.
Take one look at its long, low racy
beauty, and the first word that comes to your mind is –
fast! And this car is fast! And we don't believe any car has as
easy a cruising speed. In fact – experienced owners advise
new owners to keep an eye on their speedometers.
Yet it gives
you a gas economy that is almost nip-and-tuck with that of cars
weighing hundreds of pounds less, and with motors of 20 to 25 less
horsepower!
But its economy features don't stop there. Thanks
to Packard design and Packard precision manufacturing, this car
seldom sees the inside of a repair shop.
And it's as gentle as
your pet dog. Its handling ease will amaze you-and its ride is an
eye-widening experience in comfort.
Economy and handling ease
like this might lead you to think it's a midget, but again you'll
be happily surprised. Get in, stretch out, and relax-there's room
to spare.
One more bit of astonishment – this great car
costs even less than last year's Packard Super-8!
And now-ask
your Packard dealer to bring this car to your door. Take the
wheel, take to the realm of the broad highway, settle back in the
ruler's seat-and see how it feels to be a king!
Available in
eight body styles and three different wheelbase lengths. Long,
lithe, handsomely appointed, this car is a joy to look at as well
as a dream to drive. |
