I do have that issue of The Packard Cormorant and will retrieve it and see what it has to offer.

PS - found the issue, Autumn 1983 (#32). Three half-pages of text, three full page color reproductions of Baumann's work from the Twin Six calendar I believe, front cover, rear cover, and page 22. Perhaps 4 other illustrations of his work for Packard, and what is believed to be one of his last automotive works, an ad for Moon from 1923 or 1925. Article states that he did work for Packard from 1917 thru 1920. Authors are Ann Baumann and Twil Griffiths, and illustrations courtesy of the Jamison Galleries, Detroit Public Library, and Richard Teague.

Had you posted your query over on the PAC forum I believe I could have scanned and posted the material for you, but over here on PackardInfo I think that would present a copyright issue. Many back issues of The Packard Cormorant are still available at reasonable cost.
