Black and white photograph of a Packard Motor Car Co. display, featuring a metal body with the hood removed and the motor and other components visible inside. The sign on the left reads "OIL-LESS Anti-Friction MOUNTINGS The liberal use of these live rubber mountings results in longer life for the Safe-T-Flex suspension system, a smoother ride, fewer parts to wear and fewer parts to need adjustments." The sign in the center reads "LOWER MAINTENANCE EXPENSE Only 2 places to lubricate! ... at 10,000 mile intervals / Other front wheel suspension systems have 14 or more points to lubricate, which require lubrication every 1,000 miles / Packard's Advantage 140 to 2!" The sign to the right reads "PACKARD'S TORQUE ARM CONSTRUCTION / Wheels held constantly in proper alignment, producing a true straight-ahead ride. Greater structural strength allows 6 1/2 to 9% more front wheel braking power. Absorbs road shocks and braking stresses, leaving support arms free to provide a smoother ride. THIS TORQUE ARM IS AN EXCLUSIVE PACKARD FEATURE found on no other car."
