Mason had already died by 1955 hadn't he??

I don't think Hudson had much left in the coffers by 1954.
It would have saddled Packard with much of the cost burden to develop and fund building anything. If Hudson was building their own bodies in house this could have been beneficial for Packard.
Not sure a Packash would have gone over to well with their buyers. Even Nash was tight on money I believe, the 1955 Hudson pretty much shared the Nash body from the cowl back. They did get their own front end styling based on drawings done by Hudson of a purposed 1955 Hudson. Different trim and the dash was modeled after previous Hudson layouts.
