Improvements in Beauty,
Comfort and Performance
Announced vln Car - .
Superior performance, - greater
beauty, greater comfort and add
ed protection--of precision; j are
claimed by tho Packard- Motor, Car
company for the Packard tlx
through improvemenU to4 the car
which have just been! announced.
In appearance refinement lit
beauty, is noticeable but, in keep
ing wiih Packard's. ' policy, there
'Is no drastic change to make It
a new modei. The most noticeable
feature: to. the driver fa the In
crease In power and the resulting
anneal performance. The com
pany says the Improved Six wilt
out-perform. '14 traffic and speed,
any Packard ever built, except the
' Packard" Eight.-- f " i
. Because of the growing tenden
cy - of motor 'car owners to'covef
great, distances and to spend more
and more time 111 their, cars, the
. the public , and Packard aaaerta
jLsome of, uie present changes incor
porated; In the" Six-with this In
C mind have brought maximum case
of riding. V ;
, lines of the , enclosed - bodies
- have beep lowered somewhat and
the roof line has been extended
beyond the windshield to give a
I permanent visor. - J , :
A combination of new motor
head with a changed form of com
bustion chamber, new' intake and
exhaust manifolds, new spark and
r valve- timing and redesigned car
buretor has resulted in an increase
of nearly forty per cent irf power,
giving the Six . now more : than
Ifignty actual brake! horse power.
ttecause of the increase in power
the clutch has been made more
nigged. ATttew form of: rear axle
gears' which, it Is said by the com;
pany. will 'pryft.a reToJutIonary
as thA Ktiir&i hTAl nim when
they were, first adopted years ago
by , Packard, has been ? adopted.
Besides taking care of the greater
power, the newc gears are declared
to make' the : rear', axle perfectly
noiseless. , --- ' -'
Through a new type of combin
ation oil filler and breather.' to
gether with : an absolutely tight
valve chamber cover, it la said the
owner of the car will be able, to
Iteep the motor, it he chooses, as
Clean as a., table top. As before
all except brightly, finished parts
of the motor have a heavy coating
of enamel... , - ' '

ness of the ' four wheel; braking
' -system has been. increased in. di
rect proportion to the increased
speed and performance of the car.
