Re: Are 57 and 58 Packards really Packards

Agree with Kens53 on how the 57 tail lights turned out. When you consider the alternatives they could have chosen that were probably still in a parts bin or could be re-made easily enough to maintain the continuity of a Packard theme. The ones chosen were fairly narrow & current & probably lots of them on hand which undoubtedly influenced the decision but I can see someone adding different if there were more of those instead--55 sore thumb anyone? Just think - what if in addition to the added pod for the 58 dual headlights they had maintained the theme and done the same for a matching pair of 54 bulls nuts in the back.
