Waiting is tough
on us, too
For months we’ve been hoping to present each
and every one of you with the new Packards
you’ve ordered, and have been waiting for so
patiently.
Last fall, the outlook was good. Packard was
confident it would double its pre-war output
in 1946. (The factory is equipped to turn out
far more than that.)
Look what has happened!
Then came material shortages. Parts shortages.
For reasons completely beyond its own control,
Packard was able to keep its assembly line
moving only nine days in the first quarter of
this year.
In the meantime . . .
Our friends have kept calling us up and asking,
"Hey! Where’s that new Packard I ordered
weeks ago?” Many of these arc old friends—
Packard owners since^’way back.
But to make life more complicated, every-
body seems to want one of these grand new
Packards. Over 65% of the people out to buy
new Packards are now driving some other make.
Honest, it’s gotten so we hate to answer the
telephone or look our friends in the face. But...
Your patience will pay off!
One of these days, the shortage of parts and
materials is bound to ease up. And when it
docs, those twin-assembly lines at Packard will
really roll.
Anyway, you can depend on this:
As fast as the factory ships cars to us, we’ll
do everything we can to deliver yours at the
earliest possible moment.
So, we hope you’ll he patient a little longer.
We’re doing the best we can, and so are the
folks at the factory!
