In the factory documentation, and most of the brochures Packard always refered to it as the "Packard Mayfair", "Packard Mayfair Hardtop" and "Packard Convertible" when referring to the two cars separately or the "Packard Mayfair & Convertible" or the "Packard Mayfair Hardtop & Convertible" when referring to both cars.

I have never found a place where there were run together as "Packard Mayfair Hardtop Convertible" being a single vehicle. Perhaps this was a designation of "body type" by the DMV, or over for some reason like most changes in language over time it got misinterrupted or just got ran together.

So this is interesting as when I hear the term "Hardtop Convertible" I think of the Fords that had an actual folding hardtop.
