JW: There may be a mistake in the book I refered you to. However my main point is that Rollston did indeed build and marketed a vehicle in 1937 that had the front doors hinged at the b pillar.

Packard also in 1937 offerd a 1508 7 passenger with the front doors hinged at the b pillar. This was only on a special order basis. The bodies were built by Murray using the old 35 & 36 dies and jigs.

Like I stated I am no Packard expert but I knew were to locate the information in my library.

The book Packard by Dammann & Wren in many respects I find to be a better book on Packard than the Kimes book.

Packard experts like Kimes and Turnquist also made mistakes
in some of thier writings about Packard.
