TOURING CAR WITH STATEROOMS
Luxury in motor travel, together with independence from hotels, has been achieved by U. H. Dandurand, of Montreal, in a Pullman Packard. On a three-ton Packard truck chassis has been mounted a body whose interior arrangement is similar to that of a private railroad car. Twenty-five persons are easily carried on short trips and for long Journeys there are accommodations for the comfort of eleven including chauffeur and cook.The body is twenty-five feet, three inches over all; six feet, six inches wide; nine feet, six inches, outside height; six feet, six inches, inside height. The compartments consist of a stateroom for the driver in front; a ladies stateroom with sleeping room for five; a men's stateroom with quarters for four. This section is also the dining and smoking room, with two extension tables and a folding desk.
In the rear is a kitchenette, compact and complete from stove to refrigerator.
There is a telephone system with four instruments, placing every compartment in touch with the driver.
The interior finish is mahogany; the drapings of green silk and plush with gold lace trimmings, with Pullman carpets to match.
The lighting system consists of a dynamo with two accumulators having a capacity of 160 amperes. The front of the car has six lights, two electric, two gas and two oil; the rear has a red tall light, an electric dome and two railway signal lights.
Under the body floor are five lockers containing planks to reinforce weak bridges, blocks and tackle, and an entire touring emergency outfit. The body was built by P Brault, Montreal. Special springs designed by Packard engineers insure easy riding. Mr Dandurand, who is president of the Comet Motor Car Company in Montreal, will go to Florida this fall with his family in his Packard Pullman and spend the winter touring
