Re: Are 57 and 58 Packards really Packards

Many years ago at a national Packard meet in Detroit about 150 packards were parked inside the plant on East Grand Blvd. An elderly club member who was a Packard mechanic since 1929 looked at a 1957 model that was parked next to a 1938 senior car and shook his head. He said the 1957 was the "afterbirth". Personally the 1957 and 1958 models were nicer Studebakers and if another lifetime comes around I would like to have one.
