nouncement of the Packard Motor
Cars. A great many Inquiries have
been received in reference to the 1919
models, and the following information

interest to Packard enthusiasts:
In producing the Packard AS" fol
1913, the Packard Motor Car Com
pany has bettered its established Six
with logical improvements based on
fourteen years of engineering success
Before the first demonstration was de
livered few days ago, approximately
$50 orders for the new model had
been booked by Packard dealers.
The chassis is typical Packard con
struction, the distinctive type show
ing refnements and changes in line
with the policy of sustained develop
ment from year to year. Putting the
gasoline tank on the rear has made II
possible to clear sthe running boards
the tool box going under the front
seat and the battery box being located
under the body.
More Room and Comfort.
A sweeping body curve at the back,
similar to the lines of the Packard
limousine, has given the open bodies
more roomy seat, the c.
which is enhanced by new design
of three-quarter elliptic springs. The
wheelbase of the touring car has been
heightened from 1873 to 139 inches.
Perhaps the most important me
chanical change is an auxiliary oiline
system which feeds direct to the cyl
inder walls when the throttle reaches
about one-third opening. The oil
ing efficiency of the motor Is increas
ed about five times while the oil con
sumption s cut down to surprising
degree.

and unusual power. All cars arc
equipped with Disco printing device

The six cylinders have a four And
| one-half inch bore and long stroke
of five and one-half inches. The max
imum horsepower as shown by the

| claimed for this care are exception
ally fast pickup, short turning radius
and constant efficiency which Is
maintained regardless of road condi'
tons.

touring, phaeton, run-abount, limoU
sine, landaulet, imperial limousine
brougham and coupe. The price OF
