The Packard Six 5-26 5-33

Detroit: Packard Motor Car Company, 1927. First Edition Presumed (Of this catalogue issue). Wraps. Two staples. . Very Good. Oblong, 13 by 28.5 cm. 16 pp. 12 of the pages are color plates, each featuring a model of one of the two lines. The difference between the 5-26 and the 5-33 line is merely size, the latter being slightly larger. Otherwise, the two lines appear to completely parallel one another in their styling. All the cars, to our eye, have an elegant presence, as they almost certainly had to our ancestors, since Packard was regarded as a luxury brand. The colors are varied and vibrant. The images are based on photos but processed to appear almost painted. The inside front cover has a mounted slip giving prices, which ranged from $2,275 to $2,785, which in today's dollars would easily be about 20 times more, or starting at $40,000 plus. Light wear. Slight browning of upper edge. A touch of light soiling, very inconspicuous, on the wraps.
