Was at the old Packard Proving Grounds last weekend for the club's annual car show. Lots of nice Packards and many others too including a '55 Imperial. Must admit I was mesmerized by the Imperial just as much as the two '38 Super Eight convertible sedans. The Imperial's exterior was carefully sculpted, the grill classy and together. The interior was beautiful; instrument panel might have been the best of any 50s car. The article should have tested the '56 Southhampton 4-door hardtop to more directly compare with the new Cadillac Sedan DeVille, or chosen the standard Caddy sedan.
