Does some recognize this particular Packard ad? I found it on ebay selling for $4500. and was wondering if any of you have ever seen it before in a magazine?

Thoughts appreciated.

This is not an ad, see the caption below it. I believe this appeared in a 1937 issue of Fortune magazine featuring Packard

It's a nice looking illustration but I hope that price is missing a decimal point. If not, there better be gold in it somewhere.

Fred,

Not an ad? Part of an article on Packard? Do you perhaps know what month this appeared in 1937?

Thanks

The illustration you have is opposite the table of contents of the January 1937 FORTUNE magazine, that is to say page 52. An article on Packard begins on page 55 and continues to page 60. The article continues on page 110 through page 118. There are a number of photographs, generally of executives. As might be expected in FORTUNE, the emphasis is on the business side of things.

The ebay seller has numerous "ads" etc at stratospheric prices. Most of his sold items are in the $20-$35 range and I am guessing he puts high dollar ones in the mix to make the others seem like bargains.

The January 1937 issue is not plentiful but there is a 3 year bound set for about $240 including Jan '37 for about $240, about $7/ issue.

Caveat emptor
