Glad you like most of the design and great point about the problem with handles moving to body. Perhaps Packard could have gone with recessed handles like most 57 Chrysler Corp cars did. Reason for moving the handles was to lower the beltline and inch and an half, trying to keep pace with the trend at the time towards taller greenhouses and lower bodies. The 57 Program would have put Packard squarely in the hunt in this respect and I think the handles were to be recessed.
