I have a good deal of respect for Mr. Vines and I haven't checked out the weight of the Stude 289, but it couldn't weigh anywhere near the Packard V8. I doubt the 695 pound weight. ACOlds, can you shed some light on the weight of the Stude 289??
And the 56 GH was nose heavy. I drove one and damn near bought the farm on a sharp curve to the right. It liked to run straight ahead.
