Packard V8: I found the answer to a question you asked in this thread. August 20, 1956 Churchill announced that he felt the best solution to the Packard question was to continue the name on an interim basis through 1957 to be built on the Studebaker President Classic chassi with the 1957 Golden Hawk engine. It would cost $1.1 million in tooling for the 57 Packard. The Board of Directors approved and the work was begun for projected January 1957 announcement.
