There was a swing back to six cylinder engines in the late fifties and early sixties starting with the vogue for compact cars. The big 3 brought out new conventional six cylinder designs while Nash and Studebaker redesigned their flatheads into OHV engines.

What I was driving at was that a six cylinder Packard in 1955 would be out of step with the times and a bit of a "freak". No coubt it would raise eyebrows at any Packard meet.
