Yeah. The Zig-Zags or sometimes called "no-sag" springs really cheapen a car seat. I've never liked them. Most cars since the mid 50's have them. The drivers seat in my Exec IS sagging. MY 88 BOTTOM of the line Ranger has the No-Sags.

One thing i have never understood is why Packard did not offer a FRONT seat Centre arm rest at least in the Sr's.????? The door arm rests are small too. The steering wheel needs to move closer toward the driver about 2 or 3 more inches. It's too close to the brake and gas pedal. I kind'a feel like that Donut Pusher looks while driving. Of course that's an exageration but makes the point.

MOSTLY i find the 56 Exec a most comfortable car. But improvements in the above complaints would greatly add to the comfort already afforded in the car.
