Re: Are 57 and 58 Packards really Packards

I would have thought it would have been easier to do a mild restyle on the '56 Packards and sell them as '57s, but wasn't the narrow assembly line of Studebaker the reasoning behind going to a Studebaker body? If so, then that explains that. Still, they could have at least continued the Packard V8 and Ultramatic the last two years so at least the "Packardbakers" would have actual Packard power. Nothing against the Stude V8, mind you!
