"Officials of the Packard Motor
Car company have many stories they
tell about the deliveries of new Pack
ards to out of the way places of the
world," said Perry Ashcraft, local
Packard dealer, today as he finished
the short delivery of 1939 Packard
to the Medford Armory for display
at the lion's club auto show.
"The Llama of Tibet ordered a
Packard delivered to his far away
home and Packard officials thought
at first It couldn't be done but they
wanted to find out . If there was
place where It was Impossible to take
a Packard.
"The car was shipped as far as
possible Into Tibet, and from this
farthest point, after It had been com
pletely disassembled, was carried on
coolie back into the forest covered
mountains.
r
"It was set up In the Llama's
throne room and every afternoon at
a fixed hour, with much ceremony.
He climbed into the baok seat while
coolies ran the car up and down the
long length of the throne room. The
car could not have traveled far out
of doors because of lack of roads.
"More work was Involved in deliver
ing three Packards than probably has
accompanied the delivery of any oth
er automobiles. They were shipped
toy steamer to Barranqullla. There
they were transferred to a smaller
boat which took them up the Mag
dalena river hundreds of miles. The
river trip occupied a month because
of the lack of speed rather than dls
tance.
'They were unloaded on the bank
of the river where they were com
pletely disassembled. All of the parts
were loaded on the backs of mules
nd carried up a narrow winding
molintaln trail to Bucaramanga,
elty of 30,000 people which is located
on the top of a mountain 9,000 feet
high.
"When the bodies and chassis were
taken up two mules had to be used,
the 'freight' being carried on two
long poles suspended from saddles on
the sides of the mules. At two points
on the trail, turns were so sharp that
the rear mule had to be swung with
block and tackle off the trail and out
over the deep gorge to make the turn.
"When these cars were reassembled
thev were In the city to stay and
there are only 30 miles of road on
which they can travel."

(Continued from Page Four)
let's engineers have engineered into
the car a new type of riding quality
a balanced ride which is at once
the most 'restful, most thrilling and
most satisfying that we have ever
had in an automobile. We take prioe
In belnn a Chevrolet dealer because
Chevrolet has always given the public
a car with long-life qualities qual
ltles that make satisfied owners and
which account for almost 75 per cent
of our annual satea coming from
former Chevrolet owners. This, In
deed, is a tribute to the type of cars
Chevrolet has built. The 1939 Chev
rolet Is also a value car and we are
not surprised that smart buyers are
demanding exhaustive demonstra
tionsand are looking beneath the
exterior to determine what Is really In
the heart of the car. We are con
vinced that a as per cent averag gain
In this ara for the 1939 car Is not
too much to predict."
