 VERY STYLISH
Acme of Convenience and Comfort Offered in Diver-
 sified l94l Line

In step with the national vogue of sun tan and underline sky mo- toring, the Packard Motor Car com- pany offers the acme of convenience and comfort in the convertible styles of the 1941 line.
 Again for 1941, all convertible coupes, including the One-Ten Spe- cial, One-Ten Deluxe, One-Twenty and One-Sixty, are standard eqipped with power-operated tops. Flawless in operation, the new tops are de- pendable, quick and convenient.
 This year larger cylinders are used in the raising mechanism providing more power for the lowering and raising operation. A single control handle, located above the divider strip of the windshield, operates three locks simultaneously to lock or unlock the top in position. At the touch of button located conveniently just below the instru- ment panel, the top folds gently back or rises out of the container into closed position.
 The mechanism is simple. Two pistons, in two cylinders, one on each side, utilize vacuum from the engine as power to raise or lower l the top.
 The advantage of the automatic top is obvious. It is neat-no mech- anism can be seen inside or out: the operating mechanism is built into the wall of the body. Simplicity and convenience are outstanding fea- tures-a single locking handle to release or fasten the top and a sin ble push-pull knob to give 1t power. Freedom of complication permits the easy use of the top under all conditions in the least possible time. Variety Offered Quick to accept the national trend toward rich-toned color combina- tions, the Packard Motor Car corn- pany offers tremendous variety in exterior and interior color varia- tionS available on the l941 line. With fourteen single-color paint combinations and seven multi-tone exterior variations, Packard makes her 1941 debut in colorful array of paint selections.
 In step with the exterior combina- tionS, Packard offers ejual variety in the selection of color combina- tionS for interiors. A total of twenty basic upholstery options in cloth and nine in multi-color cloth are offered with the 1941 line. Leather options include six standard selections and ten leather and Bedford cord varia- tionS.
 l Multi-tone interior upholstery combinations this year stress lighter colors trimmed in darker cloth as contrasted to the previous style of l dark trimmed with light. The degree into which color enters Packard styling in 1941 is evident in the wide selection of plastic color combinations available for interior Il trim.
 l The selection of matching plastics for instrument panel buttons and other interior fixtures is largely gov- erned by color selections in uphol- stery. In the array of colored plas- tics offered for this purpose are three of tan, blue, gray, brown, ma- room and green.
 I Color-styled, within and without, the new Packard line offers hue harmony to match the sleek, new streamlines and general, body re- styling.
