Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Hi,

I'm a book cover illustrator/designer and have a project that calls for a 1914 Packard Runabout (or possibly a 4-48 if they're not the same thing).
If anyone has images I could pick from and purchase for use on the cover, great. Or, if anyone is willing to shoot one, that might be even better. Either way, the image needs to be at a certain angle in order to fit into the composition.
I'm attaching an image of the cover so you can see the automobile we're needing to replace.

Thanks!
Dan

Thanks for the link. The one problem I have is that I need a current color photo of the car. The old black and whites don't integrate well into the art.

Colorize it.

Just not possible to do convincingly.

Then this. With a little more time and effort, I think it would work just fine.

Willard, for a 1914 runabout 4-48 this way and for a 1914 5 passenger 4-48 this way please.

As a quit pro quo we would like to see another image of the young lady at a certain angle.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I need to be able to purchase the rights to use the image on this cover. So if the copyright owner cannot be located or contacted, I can't legally use the image.
And it looks like I will need a Runabout and not a 4-48.
I would most like to be contacted by someone who is able to send me images I can pick from or who is able to shoot a photo at the angle I need.
I'm hoping the car will have some color as well so it's a little brighter. White is fine also.

Dear Willard:

Call the Packard Museum in Dayton Ohio and ask if they can put you in touch with Bruce Hamilton. He has an actual 4-48 Roadster.

Hope this helps.
