another of your delightful what if's! On the Cosmo-based one: suggest making the front and rear bumpers the same height and then "connecting" them with lower stainless strips as was done on the 22nd series seniors. The Cosmo styling is in many ways like the 22nd - 23rd series, but without the compromises coming from reusing the Clipper tooling. The Cosmo front always seemed awkward, but Packard could have stayed away from that

I don't think the Nash-based 8 would have worked because the fastback popularity was fading, especially on a sedan.
