I'm sure others will come along and give you chapter and verse but essentially Nance was sold by Ray Powers and others on the efficiency that would result from combined operations in a more modern, mostly single story assembly line which were beginning to become the standard for new auto production plants. Most historians call the advice to move to Conner as ill-advised.

Have you considered reading some Packard history? The Kimes-edited book gives considerable coverage to the 55/56 Packard era including the move to Conner and it's consequences.
