I know these things are easy to crank on from 50+ years out. There is just this nagging suspicion I have that Packard went down in the hands of a professional manager. Tens of thousands of us just went through 10 years of living heck at a not to be mentioned Big 1 of the 3 and can tell you it was the so called pros who caused most of the problems. They are a far cry from the entrepreneurs and car folk who built these companies and they would be just as happy running a staple company so long as their title and pay were right.

Hey, does anyone have any weight info on the 245, 282, 356, 473 or V8? This discussion about V12s might benefit from a little data. With it we might be able to do a weight walk from the Eight to a medium-large Twelve of Auburn V12 displacement.
