Winn. 617 New Packard Eight Smartly Tailored Has New Body Tints Smart tailoring of upholstery in soft pastel shades of imported broadcloth, simplicity in hardware design and en- tirely new body colors have been used in some of the outstanding custom built cars on the Packard Eight chassis to be exhibited at the automobile show. Chief among these is the new four- passenger convertible sedan by Die- trich. This car is destined to be par- ticularly popular because it may be converted into an open phaeton or chauffeur-driven sedan. It has stand- ard black parts with the body and bon- net of Duco pastel (yellow) and the wheels and striping in Ditzler's perma- nent vermillion. It is upholstered in Laidlaw broadcloth, which blends beautifully to match the body color and is equipped with special head- lamps manufactured by Stephen Grebel, Paris. The partition above the seat level is not removable and forms a kind of tonneau windshield keeping annoying drafts from the passengers on the rear seat. This car will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most striking models at the show.
