27 inches. A single-sided vertical advertising thermometer sign for Packard Motor Cars. The sign is constructed of porcelain enamel on a convex metal panel with a blue and white color scheme. The top features the Packard brand name in script above the block text MOTOR CARS. Below this, a yellow and gold decorative cartouche contains a shield with the company slogan ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE. The temperature scale ranges from -20 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, with the numeric code 48 printed near the 120 mark. The text MADE IN U.S.A. is printed at the base of the scale. The glass thermometer tube is intact and contains a dark-colored fluid, secured on the reverse by a wooden support block. The lower portion of the sign features a rectangular color graphic depicting a dark-colored Packard sedan from approximately the late 1920s parked in front of a colonial-style house with figures in period dress. A small gold-toned decorative flourish is located at the bottom center of the blue field. Dimensions: approximately 30 inches x 8 inches.
