Re: Packard V8 in 57-58 Packards?

The guys who have done some mechanical work on my Packard have (or had) for sale a 1958 Studebaker Champion with two headlights instead of four. It has the pod for two headlights similar to the 1958 Packard but they put the one headlight in the middle of the pod and a chrome plate taking up the rest of the space of the pod. I guess since Champion was the bottom of the Studebaker line, to cut costs, they just used one headlight per side. Some folks think Champion was the best looking of the Studebaker line in 58 because they went a little lighter on the chrome. Personally, I concur. But to each his own. Afraid I do not have a picture handy, though.
