"New Packard Station Wagon is 5 Cars In 1!," 1940

01

Artifact Overview

Flexibility is generally a strong selling point when it comes to marketing automobiles. This 1940 advertisement from Packard claimed that the company's station wagons could be arranged in five different seating and cargo-carrying configurations. The 110 series cars were a more affordable option in the upmarket automaker's lineup -- but still with "the many luxuries of a Packard."
