No way that "S-P knew Packard was dead in '55." Read James A. Ward's "The Fall of the Packard Motor Car Company" (1995). On January 15, 1956 Packard made a request to the insurance companies for money to finance the all-new 1957 models. On January 27, James Nance was informed that the request had been turned down. THIS is what killed Packard.

And, if "S-P knew Packard was dead in '55", why did S-P plan the all-new 1957s all the way thru 1955 and 1956? Read The Packard Cormorant magazine #125 and #136.

As to PAC holding the national meets in the east, if any Western Regions would like to host a national meet, please contact the PAC Board. You need about 15-20 people working hard for two years in advance to pull one of these events off.
