They merged in 1954? I understood that Packard BOUGHT Studebaker rather than merged with them. Perhaps a matter of semantics in this case but a purchase and a merger are two entirely different legal processes.


Ahhh... a correction on my correction! Yes. And I already know what the terms mean and when the purchase took place. I lived in Detroit at the time and kept up with everything Packard did... and didn't do. We owned commercial property near the big plant. And I happen to have sets of Packard corporate Annual Reports from that period... so I know a few things.

But... I'm not making videos saying this stuff to the general public. Just trying to re-set the record from what Jay implied.

But the minute I repeated Jay's words, I knew I was merely opening myself to a retort. Why? Something that would be dissected, word for word, letter for letter all in premise of setting up another silly internet argument. But this isn't about me.

All this should be forwarded to Jay, huh?
