    Description

    1946 Packard Clipper Brochure -- First New Cars After the War
    Content:
    This brochure was printed in 1945 right after World War II ended and Americans were anxious to get cars after devoting four years to the war effort.  New automobiles were in short supply and this brochure warns that there might be delays on delivery, but Packard had set a goal to produce 200,000 cars.
    An excerpt:
    "Remember the wartime record of a great prewar car when you choose your postwar car.  Early in the war, we presented a Packard fleet to the American Ambulance Corps in Great Britain.
    "Then came the London blitz . . .
    "For four and a half years, those Packard ambulances were in constant service, speeding through the bomb-pocked and rubble-blocked streets of London."

    History:
    This is from the estate of a car fanatic and history professor from Massachusetts who kept all his car manuals and materials archived in his home library.  He would regular make the rounds of auto dealerships in the Boston area and collect automobile brochures, flyers, books and postcards.
