To each his own! They are, um, unique. Not entirely though. I believe Dodge/Desoto had something similar.

To answer my own question about the 6 cylinder cars... none of the Packards had the 6, and interestingly only the Studebaker Scotsman and Champion, and the Silver Hawk are listed as 6 cylinder cars, the Silver Hawk also available with the V8 option.

This is according to Carnut, and may or may not be accurate. But it looks like Studebaker went for V8s in a big way in those years, running somewhat counter to their econocar image.
