(Pic) 1949 Packard

Here is an advertisement that I have from an October, 1948 "Life" magazine. It is for a beautiful new 4-door, cream-colored 1949 8 cylinder Packard sedan. In those days it was more common to use full-color paintings to illustrate and advertise an automobile. Here the artist seems to be Malcolm Brindle, undoubtedly from Packard's art department. The stylish man wearing the fedora hat and fashionable long overcoat seems to be placing his poison-pen letter in the mailbox. Although he is wearing a coat, it seems all the windows on his Packard are rolled down. Plus, that is a pretty narrow street, just wide enough for one car, and I hope it is a one-way and no vehicle is coming the other way !

1925 Model T Ford Coupe, known as the "Shower" car.

"Shower car?" ....Auh, no. 🤔 "Telephone booth," yes. 😀 BTW, here's BOS's 1/18 resin Bathtub Fastback that Bob noted.

OoooooEeeeee Brother Bob and Chris - THAT'S purty!!

Back in the day, I gave a quick pass to any of the bathtub designs. However, over the years, I still don't like them. 😆

LOL! I really didn't see that coming. Good one John. Laugh
