Take everything that you don't like about the '56s and reverse it for me. I love the '56 Senior headlight trim, it really makes the car look "aggressive", and that's why I like it. The '56 Seniors especially, look so much more elegant next to the '55 Seniors, which looks more plain-Jane IMHO. Same goes for the '56 Clippers, the taillight treatment looks so much better than the "afterthought" sore-thumb taillights of the '55s.(and '54s, for that matter) The '56s are so much better looking than all the '51-'55s, the epitome of '50s flash.

If the '56 Packard Senior cars came out in '51, the '50s would have been different for sure.
