Guscha: Nice link you posted to the Harley Earl site. Thanks for pointing out the car owned by Buck Jones wasn't a Packard

I can never understand why everyone thinks that Harley Earl was such a great car designer. My opinion is that he could never hold a candle to such greats as Raymond Dietrich or the best of them all THE GREAT DUTCH DARRIN.

What Harley Earl was good at doing was spending GM's money
on hiring good auto designers. Those boys in the trenches are the ones that really did the auto designing for GM. Earl could go through the styling studios of GM and pick out what he liked.
