Packard Promo Art
Posted by DJ On 2011/1/13 18:20:52
I am new to this website, but I recently acquired a piece of original artwork by an artist named Thomas Hoyne featuring what I believe is a 1930 Packard automobile.
In addition to the car there is a picture of Bobby Jones (the golfer) holding a trophy which is indicative of his winning the Grand Slam of Golf (which happened in 1930) as well as a picture of a woman (perhaps Marion Davies who was Wm. Randolph Hearst's mistress and the richest woman in Hollywood in 1930. The house that is pictured may also be her 1st Beverly Hills mansion.
Finally there is a picture of a racing airplane (maybe "the Mystery Plane") one model of which was rumored to have a Packard engine that powered it.
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this. It may have been artwork for a calendar or poster, but it doesn't look like any of the ads I have seen from that time.
Thanks for your help and interest.
