Yes, the Exec offered an instant increase in profit per unit with very little tooling for new, unique parts (e.g. - the upper front fender spear had to be longer for the extended headlamp brow of the Senior fender).

It is only when you inspect an Exec up close that you notice subtle differences from the full Seniors - like dash knobs, idiot lights rather than gauges, painted rather than plated interior trims pieces. It didn't diminish my appreciation of the Executive model, but just shows that it lived up to its billing as an entry-leve Packard.
