Packard Advertisement, "Three Things a Parking Space Can Teach You About This Year's Cars," February 1939

01

Artifact Overview

Packard automobiles stood apart from the rest -- or at least that's what this 1939 advertisement for the luxury automaker wanted you to believe. Certainly, Packard's tombstone-shaped radiator was distinctive. The company first used the design in 1904, and it remained a Packard trademark until the firm ended operations in 1958.
