Aye, I suspect that the respective magazine editors were blinded by the excitement of "what could've been" to have prevented a more critical eye which would've prevented them from going forward with this article.

Yes, someone was so excited that they were gonna get the scoop with that story and make their club stand out from all others. Problem is they were only half right.

Yet to rush forward with that piece, with those obviously photoshopped pix and without one shed of tangible evidence and no corroboration of the story by anyone else from the company was just plain reckless.

If there ever was some genuine consideration by Studebaker to revive Packard, the real story of that, however brief it my be, will be forever tainted by that whopper of a fairy tale that was served up as fact.


That really is a shame...consider if either of the editors stepped back, took a breath and realized he would've better served his readers by either round filing that article or calling it out in print. So much for the 4th estate and the 4 "W"s
