Re: Why no Packard in a "Packard"?

In 56 Packard made a 21296 car with the 352 engine and 7538 with the 374. In 57 and 58 total of 7431 I do not think any manufacturer would keep about 1/3 of there engine production in storage for future use. The corporation wanted to build more cars than they did in 57 and 58 as all manufacturers wasn't to sell large numbers of cars .
They would also need a supply of transmissions to be used with the engines.
These are only my personal views but most plans by companies that make cars or any product are driven by need to make a profit not build cars or whatever they may produce
