It may not seem like it now since the era of the hardtop has passed but it was the next greatest thing in those years. Every carmaker who aggressively participated by fielding pillar-less hardtops and even hardtop-styled sedans saw immediate benefits. The affect on Packard's image and sales with models like these would have returned far greater sales than ever garnered by halo models like the Caribbean, even as much as those were important too. What a shame Nance didn't recognize this opportunity before he took the helm, institute such a program immediately upon arrival.
