Description
View of 1920 Packard Twin Six touring car pulling house trailer. Handwritten on back: "Packard, 1920. Twin Six touring car, 12 cylinder. An early house trailer, or what the English call a 'caravan.' Notice that the Packard touring car, towing it, is equipped not only with side curtains, but also a padded leatherette hood for the radiator. Such hoods, equipped with curtains that rolled down and buttoned snugly in place, were used in winter to keep radiator contents from freezing. The Boyce Motometer on the filling cap notified the motorist when the water was hot enough to raise the curtain."
