Hey...you may be right. At least it is said that Teague gave us the "cathedral" tail light...or so legend has it. I wonder if he was just bored that Easter Sunday or inspired!?

Now, I am changing the subject: I have experienced two 1956 factory Packard a/c units and I was impressed with their effectiveness [for the time] and the beautiful integration that was done with the dashboard.

It is very sad to see what Studebaker-Packard did with this namesake in 57 and 58 with respect to air conditioning. From a styling and integration standpoint: five steps backward!
