Re: 1954 Packard conv. with 327 engine

In my view replacing the 359 engine should be a very major detriment to value as that engine was a keynote feature of the 1954 senior cars. 1954 was the only year between 1951 and 1954 that the convertible was a top-line model. And the statement that it was replaced because of "reliability" deserves some scrutiny as well because, aside from the easily swapped aluminum head, the reliability of the two would be pretty much identical.
