Randy: Your statement about Packard in 1955 having suffered
so few faults with the introduction of a new engine, tranny and suspension makes me scratch my head in puzzlement.

Those called few faults were major ones that cost Packard sales and a lot of money to fix.

1. Major oiling problems with the new V8's
2. Problems with the twin ultramatic
3. Major problems with the quality and fit with bodies produced by Packard in 1955.
4. Rear axle bearing problems in 56
5. Problems in 1956 with the new new button selector.

Those few problems were major ones which Packard didn't have enough money to cover up like GM and Ford did when they had problems.
