Re: Would the 356 have packaged in the '51?

Agree that the 51's were late, not early. The overall shape was modern, but other than the clever incorporation of the Packard ox-yoke grille into a very different front, rather generic. Mercury and Pontiac look similar in profile - a distinctive side treatment, which the Clipper certainly had, was lacking. I think what was accomplished in the 55 restyle of the same body was quite a feat.
