Packard Motor Car Company's
full-size plastic sports convertible,
the Panther-Daytona, was the re
cent winner of the Plaskon Home
Arts Council 1954 gold trophy for
"outstanding contributions to ad
vanced styling and design in the
automotive field."
The award was the first to an
automobile manufacturer by the
home arts council which repre
sents consultants in design, color,
interior decoration and home en
gineering. In making the decision,
coucil officials cited the advant
ages of plastic indent resistance,
low repair costs and freedom from
rust.
Packard's Panther-Daytona is
equipped with Ultramatic trans
mission and forced draft carbure
tion which raises engine horse
power from 212 to 275. Recently
it was timed at 131.1 mph. over a
mile course on a Florida beach.
This is the highest speed ever
made by a car of this type.

Lederle said it was the duty of

to have the rf cords in such simple

Lederle, speaking of persons who
make unfounded charges, said:
"In recent years we have all be

A vcar ag", the than you sec in the picture above had
no' idea "that he w.mld be taking title to a nw
Cadillac car in 1954.
lie had planned, almost as a matter of habit, to
purchase the product of another motor car manu-tacturcr-a
make which he had owned and driven
for many years.
Hiit then he made a tni'v wonderful and surprising
dfcoverv!
11c learned, much to his delight and amazement,
that the lowest-priced Cadillac would actually cost
him Ins than the model of the car he had originally
intended to buy.
lie discovered, too, that a Cadillac will travel
farther on a gallon of gasoline . . . and that its cost ot
maintenance and upkeep is actually more modest.
And then he found out that a Cadillac traditionally
returns a greater share of its original cost at resale
than anv other automobile in America.
And sn he decided to economi:t and make the
move to Cadillac!
And what a happy, happy man he is as he takes
the keys, slips behind the wheel, and starts off on his
first wonderful journey.
It's a great personal thrill to sit in the driver's
seat here where the world's must distinguished
motorists sit and find yourself a subject of admira
tion wherever you travel.
And, if there is anything as rewarding as owning a
Cadillac, it's driving a Cadillac. The car rides so
smoothly and quietly and efl'ortlcssly, and holds you
in such buoyant comfort, that an hour behind its
wheel is an hour of relaxation.
In short, a Cadillac makes a man jrel good. It's a
lift to his spirit ... a rest lor his body . . and a
compliment to his person.
Whv not come in and sec for yourself? You'll be
welcome at any time.
