Long ago-when the world was
more than two thousand years
younger than it is today-a group of
designers, engineers and workers
created a wonderful building.
Itwas an evolution-yet something
new under the sun.
The building industry was then in
its infancy. 1t had few bad precc-
dents. Men had not made many
great structures. But the enthusi-
aSm to create was there. The time
was ripe.
And the most beautiful bAlding the
Uorld has ever seen came into existence.

What makes beauty?

The Parthenon of Athens was the
product Of the creative enthusiasm
of the age.
In this day of the automobile
while the industry is yet young-an-
other group of designers, engineers
and workers have created new thing
under the sun.
1t is a new Packard-an evolution,
and an achievement!
And we honestly feel that the same
spirit which made the Parthenon the
model and despair of builders for all
time, has gone into the making Of
this, the most beautiful Packard.
