The booklet has a blue heavy paper cover, with the title printed in dark blue and silver. The booklet's contents include text and illustrations for the 1908 Packard "Thirty" Touring Car, including a full color illustration on page 6. The following section headings appear within the catalog: "Packard 'Thirty' - 1908," "The Packard Factory," "Packard 'Thirty' Illustrated," and "Packard 'Thirty' Described." A note on the reproduction on the last page reads as follows:

"The original 1908 Packard 'Thirty' Catalogue was truly a graphic achievement of that time.
Every attempt has been made to produce a fruitful reproduction of the original.
While modern production equipment and techniques differ from those of over 60 years ago, we are pleased with our efforts to capture all of the nostalgia and charm of the original.
