1908 – PACKARD “THIRTY” – A MOTOR CAR CATALOGUE – ORIGINAL SALES BOOKLET / BROCHURE / SHOWROOM PROMOTION

PACKARD MOTOR CAR COMPANY – DETROIT, MICHIGAN

Yes, an original showroom booklet for the Packard “Thirty” 1908. Softcover with 28 pages measuring about 8 1/4 inches by 10 7/8 inches.  Starts with a color plate of the Packard “Thirty” 1908 Touring Car, and there are six additional almost full page drawings of car models for the year, along with mechanical drawings in the section “Described.”

I have had this catalog since 1957, and am the second owner. In 1957 I was on THE GIANT STEP, a TV show with the host, Bert Parks. My subject on this quiz show was “antique cars.” I received tons of fan mail, and gifts, one of which was this catalog from the original owner. He also sent me a glass cutter with a horseshoe nail attached. That nail punctured a tire on his 1908 Packard. I have that somewhere still. But time for the catalogue to find a new home. Enjoy, and take care of it, thank you, RAY
