Not to knock Chevrolet but they do not even belong in this discussion. They were a cheap car and do not compare to a Packard. Especially in the twenties through the early fifties even the cheapest Packard was obviously a far more expensive, comfortable, and luxurious car. It would outperform the Chevrolet in every way and outlast it at least 2 or 3 to 1.

I must emphasize that this is not to knock the Chevy. It was a good car in its class but was never meant to compete with Packard.

In the late fifties Chevrolet was much improved, and at the time the low priced cars had come much closer to the high priced cars but of course, by this time Packard was dead.
