BUYS ARMORED CAR

‘Even Floor of Limousine | Bullet- Proofed.

| Believed to be one of the most | completely protective armored cars ever built, a Packard Twelve sedanlimousine has just been completed | for President Tiburcio Carias An-

| dino of the Republic of Honduras, | according to Preston Tucker, Packard Indianapolis president. It will, it is said, resist fire from pistol, submachine gun, bomb or even high-powered rifle. In outward appearance the car is no different from any other Packard Twelve sedan-limousine. However, there is an inner shell of armor plate one-quarter inch thick, which is so hard surfaced that it can neither be sawed, filed nor drilled. This steel plate is hidden between the outer steel of the budy and the inner dark blue leather trimming. Windows are of bulletresisting glass an inch and a quarter thick. During tests of the armor with which the car is equipped, a 30caliber U. S. Government rifle was able only to dent the steel. The same rifle, using the same ammunition, was found capable of sending a bullet through 58 boards, each seven-eighths of an inch thick and placed an inch apart.
