“No matter how you look at it - here’s America’s no. 1 glamour car!” Following Pan American’s pioneering start of scheduled transpacific air travel in 1935 through their fleet of Clipper flying boats, the word "clipper" became synonymous with hope, progress, and the arrival of a new era. Even in the late forties when this Packard advertisement was produced, Clipper was still a name companies wanted to be associated with. “Two star performers: the globe-girdling Pan American Clipper and the beautiful new Packard Clipper.” Image: Pan American World Airways, Packard advertisement, late 1940s.
