Than Packard would have been defeated the purpose of merging. Nash wanted the well established and plentiful dealerships that Hudson had to offer. George Romney has stated that it was the quantitiy of Hudson Dealerships that allowed the future '57 Rambler to really gain the audience it needed. Without the infrastructure of the Hudson sales divisions AMC would have withered and died out within 3 years. This is something that Packard could not have offered Nash.
I think if Packard had merged sooner with another company between 1949-51 things would have been different.
Your right about the Great Packards. They can't be topped. I like them better than the Duesenberg & Cords. Packard was really something Special.
