'Bentley discouraged even radio in their 1952-55 R-Type Continentals. Too bad Packard didn't produce something rivaling these, instead of the Olds Fiesta-, Buick Skylark-, Cadillac Eldorado-aping Caribbean; '

You could have ordered a club coupe with the big engine and overdrive transmission. Not up to the Bentley in terms of fine leather upholstery etc but a light weight (for a Packard) hot performing car.
