That's a good point. Perhaps the Packard would have needed to be a Custom only, Super Eight Deluxe competing a bit too closely with Cosmopolitan. Here are 1949 prices from NADA. With Packard in the mix to help spread amortization, Cosmopolitan might have come down in price to Cadillac 62 level:

$3,238 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

$2,633 Packard Super Eight
$2,919 Packard Super Eight Deluxe
$3,975 Packard Custom Eight

$3,050 Cadillac 62 Sedan
$3,828 Cadillac 60 Special
