About This Item
Detroit, Michigan: The Packard Motor Car Company, 1936. First Edition. Wraps. Very Good . Oblong, 23 by 30.5 cm. Unpaginated, 32 pages. Color illustrations on virtually every page. Many are based on photos but with painterly enhancements, including a drawn background, colorizing, other touches to create some simulacrum of a painting. 14 pages are essentially full page plates depicting a single car model, this in full and bright color, with a green and white drawn idyllic background. Two pages are devoted to full page illustrations of car interiors, a single illustration in each instance. At the center are large photo illustrations, onone side of the company's sprawling plant, the other side, of its testing track. Four pages are given over to smaller detail illustrations of interior features. The final six pages show the mechanics of the car, the motor, the underbelly, etc. Two of these illustrations are larger format, and close to full page. The catalogue is scarce -- OCLC First Search picks up only two institutional holdings -- U. of Michigan and LA Public Library. Condition: A few small stamps on front cover plus and narrow strip of paper pastedown -- all of these suggest to us this copy came from a dealership which filed away this copy. Light soil on cover elsewhere. Light wear beside. Easily very good.
