Guess it depends on from where you are going to get the ad.
None in the archive are very good quality for printing. The only one that specifically says 400 and has minimal reading yet highlights the prime feature of the car is this one.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=3101&cid=93 --nice dignified car and short and to the point copy but the red one would really catch my eyepackardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=1791&cid=93 except it's an ad with no copy.

See now........I've not ever seen the ad in the first link you posted. Maybe I can locate an actual copy for reproduction?

I had never seen that one either. ALWAYS something new to see, and learn. Thanks HH.

Can't claim credit for it -- just happened to see that was the specific model asked for and the simple text. Like the blue & white car better though.
Might be nice to have both of them. Need to find decent copies of whatever you choose though and I don't have any 55 ads in my collection.

I have a brochure for '55 Packards with one page devoted to the 400. It is a red and white car with a man in the driver's seat and a lady in shorts leaning against the car, talking to him.
"THE NEW PACKARD Four Hundred" with four Hundred in italics. At the bottom of the page is a shot of the trunk open, with lots of suitcases inside. The page is almost poster size - 10 1/2 X 14 1/2. Any help? Bernardi

Kevin, how about an image from a catalog or brochure? Here are some photos of a Four Hundred from a two-page spread in one of the brochures.
(o{}o) Edit: Bernardi and I had the same idea, only he mentioned it first. Great minds...

I am the editor for Motor City Packard bi-monthly publication called " The Packard Digest" and I am ALWAYS looking for old car ads for some color. Recently I bumped into this website and it has a ton of old cars ads:
plan59.com/cars/cars_01.htm There are over 500 ads. You will have some fun searching through the web site looking for the Packard stuff. Good hunting, --Roger--

Roger, that is almost overwhelming. To compare that shower of ads, its profusion of design vocabulary and quality with Soviet car ads would be largely ridiculous.
You knocked me over.
