Ahhh. This is a vertical format official neon dealership sign. PMCC actually issued a series of variations of this sign in both vertical and horizontal formats. The metal on some of these was painted, but often they were done in porcelain. Beautiful works of art in themselves.

There was a booklet from which a dealer could pick his choice of signs and then make an order. The booklet even included other Packard neons that also went inside the dealership. There were surprisingly a lot of variations.

The Packard Cormorant magazine from the Packard Club a couple of issues back showed shots of this same type sign. It was mounted on a dealership on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, California. The photo was taken during the Rose Parade when a Packard Pan American was driving past with two specially accessorized Packard convertibles.
