AH Official World's Records Broken
by De Palma and His Packard Car
Packard Aviation Motor Drives Car 14972 Miles Per Hour
Daytona Beach, Fla., February 17th
When. Ralph De Palma left Daytona Beach
this evening he carried with him the distinc
tion of having broken every official world's
record on the straightaway with his new
racing car equipped with the Packard Avia
tion Motor.
In five day's racing, beginning February
12th, he has broken records for 1 mile, 2
miles, 3 miles, 4 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles, 15
miles and 20 miles hanging up the startling
figure of 24.02 seconds to the mile, at the
rate of 149.72 miles per hour.
The Packard Aviation Motor now holds
all records on straightaway and circular tracks
for all distances from lA mile to 616 miles.

Tt7HAT gives even greater in
W terest to this achievement is
the fact that many of the earlier
records were, long held by the
German-made Blitzen-Benz car.
It seems peculiarly fitting that
this new De Palma-Packard'rec-,
ord, which breaks the last hold of
the Germans on transportation
records; should be achieved by
the Packard engineering principles
that made it possible.
No one knows better than the
Packard Company what can be
accomplished by intensive study
with any problem of transporta
tion whether of passengers or
freight, by motor carriage, by
truck, by airplane, on land or in
the air.

Getting the work out of the
car!
This country needs must
get the fullest possible re
sults from every ounce of its
transportation power.
There, is no immediate
hope of railroad betterment.
Motor transportation
whether passenger or freight
is the one great resource.
The motor truck equipment of
America as it stands could deliver
30 per cent more transportation
than it is giving today.
The Packard Company says
this because it has developed 'the
method, and put it into effect
with nearly two thousand Pack
ard Trucks the country over.
It has seen the methods work
out. It has seen the cost figures
go down month by month. It
knows that the principles and
methods are right.
The methods apply to any
make of truck.

The man who has a transportation
problem to solve cannot do better than
discuss it with the Freight Transporta
tion Department of his local Packard
Branch or Packard Dealer.
No Charge. It is not even necessary
that he be a Packard owner or driver.
The object is Service rather than
immediate sales.
