AL: Most of all your statement about the possible merger between Nash, Hudson, Packard, and Studebaker has no merit to it. If you keep up on automotive history you will find that the things were a lot different than what you have stated..

I know that with our prior history you are going to be less than pleased with me, with my above statement. If you look at a past post I made recently you will read, that Nance and Mason had an agreement to merger Nash and Packard. The truth is that Romney wasn't worried about playing second fiddle to Nance in a possible merger. Nance upon learning that he wasn't going to be head of the new possible corporation, talked the Packard board out of going forward with a merger with Nash.

In the talks between Nance and Mason, Studebaker was never considered to be part of the merger.

The reason any merger with Hudson, Nash, and Packard failed was because of Nance.
