Re: What would a traditional Packard "Senior" have looked like in 1951?

Will probably gets boo's but here is suggested 300 sedan on 127 wb. Only change from actual is the 200 rear fenders and taillights, which I think would have been essential to keep the Juniors separated from the Seniors.
My not very good attempt to fashion the Senior's wrapped backlight points to another historical question: where and when did Packard get the idea to do this backlight shape? I suspect they got it from the '49 Coupe DeVille that launched late in the 1949 model year, and prior to that the plan was to use the 200's backlight on the 300/400. It was probably a simple matter to trim away metal and tool the new glass in time.
