Was the ad run in the Post more than once?

There was only one version of the text, but it ran several times in the Post. Sorry, I don’t have a list. -RML

That Jordan Blue Boy ad must have stood out like a beacon in the 1920s. Packard had several color ads in the early ’20s—but nothing like that! Artist Fred Cole was featured in an article by Gwil Griffiths in The Packard Cormorant #35 (Summer 1984). Cole produced four ads for the 1931 through 1934 Packards. Packed away in my loft is my collection of Automobile Quarterly, so I am going by memory here…Was it you or Beverly Rae Kimes who wrote “Ned Jordan: The Spell He Wove / The Cars He Built”?

Thanks, Stuart. Good memory! It was AQ, Vol. 13, No. 2, second quarter 1975, by Tim Howley (The Spell) and me (the cars). Bev Kimes was editor then. She always loved Jordans. —RML
